Current user flow:
In activity list, the the contact ID and contribution IDs need to be highlighted and copy/pasted to follow them.
Some solution:
We should have some link to the contact that is easily clickable instead of the current copy/paste insanity.
@Eileenmcnaughton @Ejegg I'm wondering if we can hijack the assigned field for this. If the activity is assigned to the new contact, then it's one click. It's a tiny bit hacky but it also makes sense in a funny way.
However, when I merge in a clean civi install, I go straight to the new, merged contact and not the deleted contact. Is this something special in our code base routing users to the deleted contact?

I've logged this for upstreaming purposes https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-21415 - just trying to get my head around whether there are concerns for upstreaming it
Hmm - I'm finding it hard to make the case for upstreaming this because it does look kinda odd having 2 visible activities on the contact. I feel like I need to canvas some more opinions on it
This is all set on production - new merge activities get the link, and old merges have been backfilled.
