Link for star/player names on android

Is there any convenient way to link star names and player names when operating off of a phone? It’s pretty straight forward on a computer, but I generally play from a phone and the message bar/keyboard completely covers the screen.

The answer to this question is, yes.

Double bracket the star name and make sure to spell the name exactly as it is written.

For example [[Beta Mirfak]].

Player names are each associated with a number. For instance,

Type [[1]] and it will show up as panblanco
[[2]] is Ender
[[3]] is George
Etc.

So far as I know, the best way to determine each players corresponding number is to create a seperate message thread and send it to yourself.
1 = [[1]]
2 = [[2]]
Etc.
