Make it easier to direct message users from channel
When reading a channel, it's sometimes desirable to direct message a user after reading a message they posted. Right now you have to either find their name on the message list or use the upcoming /msg command. There seems to be a missed opportunity for messaging them from their username though. Clicking on their name opens a popover, but you can't actually send a message from it. I'd propose either double clicking their name opens a DM or putting a link to open a DM in the popover. I can implement this, just want to ask for guidance from a UX perspective.
You can now open a DM from the user’s popover.

Peter, I haven't had a chance to work on this/it fell off my radar.

Hi Alan,
Noticed this was posted in April. Any luck?
