I currently have a theme component that displays a custom user profile field as a link on the user profile, card, etc.

I did something like [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/retired-use-an-id-in-a-custom-user-field-to-link-to-a-users-external-profile/41218/1).

That guide is now outdated because of Ember 5.

Does anybody have any guidance on how to update this so it will continue working?
