Is there a way to link the twitter users name to the twitter account without having to hack it using content templates...

So the user who posted the twitters name is displayed as a link to their twitter page?

I am doing this with Views2, though ideally this module would provide a cleaner way of doing so.

1. Install the token module.
2. Ensure that "Twitter: Login name" is a field in your view.
3. Configure that field by checking "Output this field as a link" and entering "http://twitter.com/[screen_name]" as the link path.

[screen_name] is a token provided by the twitter module that the token module replaces with a twitter username.
