This addon was written by Viper (http://www.viper.dk/WoW/) and published on WoWUI by the user Ryiort. I'm only keeping it alive.

This add-on allows you to open up a menu when clicking on a players name in chat. This will give you some basic options, for fast and easy access. So no more having to write when wanting to invite a player you're talking to or if you want to ignore that player.

It also extends the options available when clicking on a name. You can choose what actions should be performed when doing a normal click or while holding down Shift, Ctrl or Alt. It is all configurable from inside the game. Type /plm to view the options screen.

This add-on was developed before Blizzard added the same functionality to the defaul UI. However using PLM gives you a few more options to customize the menu and click behaviours to your liking.

Patch notes for Player Link Menu v1.7.1
Version 1.7.1
- Update TOC file to 3.1.

Version 1.7
- Updates for WotLK.

Version 1.6.5
- Fixed social frame being shown when activating the PLM menu after having been in the guild part of the social frame.

Version 1.6.4
- Minor correction to compatability fix, making it a bit better. One thing to note about this fix is that if you set a click behaviour to 'Disabled' in the menu, the original action will now be executed as it should.

Version 1.6.3
- Added a 'Copy name' feature. Will copy the name to the text cursor position or open a new chat editbox if one isn't already open.

[color2]Version 1.6.2[/color]
- Now has the 'Report Spam' feature.
- Fixed the 'Guild Invite' not properly being updated unless you had been in the guild frame.
- Hopefully fixed some compatability issues with other add-ons by allowing more stuff to get through if PLM doesn't execute anything.

Version 1.6.1
- Fixed names having a number attached when trying to whisper them.
