I often need to go the the "edit user" page in the User module for a particular user.
/index.php?module=users&type=admin&func=modify&userid=

To do that I have to type or copy/paste the username into the search box on the user list
/index.php?module=users&type=admin&func=view
and then click on the edit icon.

I would like to have a link in the profile_user_view available only to admins that links directly to the edit user page.

There is template profile_user_menu.htm that produces user/permision sensitive links already included into profile_user_view.htm so I thought it would be an easy matter to add an extra "admin only" link, but I haven't figured it out.

The actual links are produced by the plugin
/modules/Profile/pntemplates/plugins/function.profileuserlinks.php

Can that plugin be overridden by placing the modified version in
/themes/MyTheme/plugins/Profile/ ??

Maybe this would be useful for others or is there a reason it's a bad idea?
