It would still be useful to have the tooltip for the profile _icon_.

I know we looked at this before, not sure if it is the same code, but it was hard coded to duplicate exact button text as the tooltip attribute, which is bad. Did we change that @techapj?

That fix was for the `d-button` component. For the “Profile” link we are using `d-link` component. Fixed for links:
