ORCID Rollover in Metadata Editor's People Section Suggests Non-functional Search-by-Name feature

[vchendrix]

Describe the bug
In the Metadata Editor's "People" section, the ORCID rollover text suggests that ORCIDs can be searched by name, and the text appears to be a clickable link. However, the text is not a link, and the cell does not support the suggested search-by-name functionality.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the Metadata Editor's "People" section.
2. Hover over the ORCID field or rollover text.
3. Observe the tooltip that suggests searching by name.
4. Attempt to click on the text or search by name in the ORCID field.

Expected behavior
The rollover text should either:

• Provide a functional search-by-name feature and link, or
• Be updated to clarify that search-by-name is not supported.

Additional context
This issue has been identified as misleading and could cause confusion for users. Suggested fixes:

• Enable the search-by-name feature.
• Change the rollover text to accurately describe the functionality.

Thanks @vchendrix! I didn't realize that this doesn't work. It looks like it was never implemented in the EMLPartyView. I think the fix should be to enable the feature rather than to update the text.
