Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the flow in the webapp at https://develop.element.io: open a room, choose Forward from a message, and click a person's name in the Forward Message dialog. Trace the dialog's person-name click handling and navigation behavior; done means the message is forwarded to the selected person or the click has no effect, without losing the message.
