Describe the bug In the Metadata Editor's "People" section, the ORCID rollover text suggests that ORCIDs can be searched by name, and the text appears to be a clickable link. However, the text is not a link, and the cell does not support the suggested search-by-name functionality.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the Metadata Editor's "People" section.
  2. Hover over the ORCID field or rollover text.
  3. Observe the tooltip that suggests searching by name.
  4. Attempt to click on the text or search by name in the ORCID field.

Expected behavior The rollover text should either:

  • Provide a functional search-by-name feature and link, or
  • Be updated to clarify that search-by-name is not supported.

Additional context This issue has been identified as misleading and could cause confusion for users. Suggested fixes:

  • Enable the search-by-name feature.
  • Change the rollover text to accurately describe the functionality.
