Description

  • Maybe use @-completion (especially if provided in markdown module). In that case, autocomplete when someone types @ with the foaf:nick nicknames of the people in the chat already.

  • Maybe allow sequence 1) click on author name in a chat message 2) get popup with "View Profile | Mention | Private chat"

In either case, when mention, make the link text be the foaf:name vcard:fn of the person, and link it to their webid.

(Possibly -- also autocomplete on people in your own contacts? As a preference option)

Research direction

Review the chat input and the markdown module's possible @-completion support first, then compare it with the proposed author-name popup flow. Done means one agreed interaction supports mentioning chat participants, uses foaf:name or vcard:fn as link text, links to the person's WebID, and resolves whether contact autocomplete is included.
