Sorry to put it as a ticket, could not find a way to post to the forums.
Is there any way to invoke new message feature of the private messaging portlet directly from another portlet?
Use case: Username displayed, click on "send message" link, we would like to invoke the private messaging portlet (LR 6.1+)
