Description

Description:

Quoted messages show the author avatar/username, but clicking them doesn’t open the user profile sidebar. Normal message avatars work correctly.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Quote a message.
  2. Click the quoted author avatar/username (quote chip or inline quote block).
Expected behavior:

User info sidebar opens for the quoted author.

Actual behavior:

No sidebar opens.

Research direction

Start by tracing click handling for the quoted author avatar and username in both the quote chip and inline quote block, then compare it with the working normal-message avatar behavior. Done means clicking either quoted author opens the user info sidebar for that author.
