[REQUEST] Twitter handles written like Mastodon handles create links #774

It would be greasy for a feature that if someone mentions someone on Twitter that it links their account exactly how Mastodon links each account. Ex.@JamesGunn@Twitter.com

I think this would be best handled upstream (i.e. by Mastodon) since the iOS app just receives the post content as formatted HTML, which it then renders. So if your server were to detect and parse @foo@twitter.com as a Twitter handle and output an <a> tag with the appropriate href, the app would handle it.
