Chat messages contain interactive elements that respond to hover and click actions. URLs, channel names, and nicknames are all clickable.
URLs
URLs in messages are underlined on hover with a pointer cursor. Hover to see the page title (fetched automatically). Click to open in a new browser tab.
Channel Names
Channel names (e.g., #general) are clickable. Hover to see a tooltip with the channel name, user count, and action hint. Click to join the channel (or switch to it if already joined).
Nicknames
Hover over a nickname in a chat message for 500ms to see a hover card with user info: online duration, channels, away status, client details (browser, OS, screen, language, timezone), and contact/ignore badges.
Single-click:

into your input field.
Double-click:

Notes
Interactive elements do not trigger during text selection. The nick hover card does not appear for your own nickname. Hover tooltips dismiss when the mouse leaves the viewport.
