Personally, I like the solution @joseph_Michaud suggested
Why? Because it's what the user would do. SetText is not.
It also depends on application behaviour. Some applications will be set up to automatically highlight any text already there (to enable easy deletion) on detecting the user entering the field. Whether this is by clicking in, or tabbing in, or whatever. In which case, you may want to emulate that behaviour. By applying Keys or SetText straight to a field, you may not trigger activation/entry behaviour.
(PS .... why do the user name links seldom work properly for me? What am I supposed to type to trigger them?)

Are you entering '@" before the user name?

Yeah. I think I figured it out. You have to hit <ENTER> (or <TAB>) at the end of the username william_roe (yup .... got it!).
