Description

As mentioned by @ara4n, it would be good to have a way to click on an avatar/name from the timeline to open up their profile in the right-panel (see what their MXID is).

Currently, it just leads to a 404 page.

### Dev notes

- We probably need https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web/issues/677 to be in place in order to change the member link URL in the messages

Research direction

Start by tracing the timeline avatar/name links and the current 404 destination, then read the linked hydrogen-web issue #677 about changing the member link URL. The work is done when selecting a room member opens their profile in the right panel and displays their MXID instead of returning a 404.
