When I want - or others want to do about mine - to comment on someone's dragons, I usually use their name. However, that can become a problem when you own a lot of dragons or the name is not unique (for example, unnamed dragons).
I think that profile comments could have a feature to link to a specific dragon, so for example:
NOW: Hexa is awesome!
WOULD BE:
@.d.Hexa is awesome!
Might also be useful as a widget in the share button for forums, not only the profiles.

I'd say you would want it to be coded like similar, for example:
[dragon id=12345678] would become
Unnamed
and then the back-end coding would make it automatically turn into a URL of the dragons name, whether they have a given name or are still 'Unnamed'.
Much like how the gamedb item coding works:
[*gamedb item*=123*] becomes
Maggot, when you remove the *s.
ETA: If the dragon code included a tiny little pixel of their avatar that would be hilarious and amazing

this would be awesome for sales inquiries as well. do DB widgets work in PM? i know i've done it through profile comments before but i know mostly that's done via PM and rn there's no widget for it so you have to build the link by hand, which is clunky on mobile.

Sure. DB items get their own tag, letting dragons have it as well would be nice. Could have separate tags for just the name, or even an image with link (which would be the url and img tag combo)
Whether users actually use it when complimenting or inquiring about dragons is another matter [emoji=coatl deadpan size=1] lol

Considering that (for inquiries at least) I usually have people giving the ID# or linking the dragon directly, adding a [dragon=id#] style widget would definitely give people a potentially easier way to do that. If it were enabled coding for profile comments, even better, as I always just end up using names there because using ID numbers feels impersonal somehow!

This gets my support as I think it would be something very useful to have.

If writers are supposed to "show not tell," why are we called "storytellers" and not "storyshow-ers"?
