Similar to the permalink issue in #1234, Mastodon v3 users are used to being able to click the profile image and open the account page on a remote server. I actually think this was always a silly design, because most people expect to click a profile image and get a zoomed-in profile image. Mastodon fixed this in v4, but then moved the "open remote profile" feature into a buried menu option.
I will fix this so the menu option remains, but also the display name of a user is now clickable to go to their profile. I have also added an icon button to indicate that you are "leaving" and opening an external link.
If you are viewing a local profile, the icon won't be present, because you are already on the canonical page, but I'm leaving the text as a hyperlink so people can copy/paste it as needed and expected.
