It seems the agreed way to reply to people is to quote their name with the @, as this generates a notification to them.
However is there a convenient way to get these user names in the messages? If you try to copy-paste the user name from the line above their message, it makes a mess because you can't copy just the user name. If you drag the name to your message (which only works if it's the last message) you get an URL to their profile, so that's not good either.
I end up typing names, but it's not convenient and errors are introduced. It'd be nice to have a quick and easy way to copy in one's message the username of the author of any message in the thread.
