Possible Solutions

Prifile link in site header

We can add a profile link on the right side of the side header logo/name, We can even to a profile icon on hover. and on mobile we can add it visible somehow.

profile link button in the site header

Link icon in the titlebar or three dots

We can also add links in the titlebar, but this means that those links are not inside the "Publication box" which I think is forcing us to the solution above.
