I’m looking over the code, and there’s not a very easy way to make it happen. We have hooks in bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar(), but we’re not passing along enough information to make it possible for filters to make the avatars linkable.

Could I ask you to open an enhancement ticket at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ explaining what you’re trying to do? I can make sure that the filters are improved to make what you’re trying to do possible.

In the meantime, it’s possible to do what you want, though not elegant. Here’s a hint:

`
function bbg_turn_secondary_avatars_to_links( $avatar ) {
global $activities_template;

// Here you’ll copy the logic in bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar() to switch between types
switch ( $activities_template->activity->item_id ) {
// Here’s an example of what to do with groups
case ‘groups’ :
$group_id = $activities_template->activity->item_id;
$group = groups_get_group( $group_id );
$url = bp_get_group_permalink( $group );
break;

// You’ll have to do similar sorts of tricks for different content types
}

// Then, wrap the avatar in a URL
if ( !empty( $url ) ) {
$avatar = ‘‘ . $avatar . ‘‘;
}

return $avatar;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar’, ‘bbg_turn_secondary_avatars_to_links’ );
`

This may not work as is (it’s off the top of my head) but it should give you a push in the right direction. Good luck!
