How to Open Private Message Modal via URL in Flarum (fof/byobu)?

I'm working on my project, which consists of:

I've implemented SSO between these two apps.

I've installed the fof/byobu extension to allow users to send private messages.

My home app has a user profile page (e.g., https://www.project.com/u/profile/junaid). I want to add a "Send Message" button on this page that will:

Redirect the user to Academy (https://www.project.com/academy).
Automatically open the private message modal with the recipient's username pre-filled.

Any suggestions on how to implement this?

junaid Actually, I don't think there's an easy way to do this.

It might be possible with an extension of the FOF Direct Links extension.

junaid Have a look at FriendsOfFlarum/byobu206. This is already possible. You'll need to probably tinker around a little bit to get the params right
