Replace @mention username with user’s current display name for all mentions

In this thread https://buddypress.org/support/topic/i-just-want-one-consistent-username-to-appear-everywhere-in-wp-bp/ @r-a-y successefully replaces all display names with usernames, I want to do the opposite I want the @mentions to display the current display name, so that when someone mentions someone it diplays that person’s current display name.

How do i achieve this?

It is something I would like also, however I believe this is problematic in that currently it is possible for two of more users to have the same display name whereas the username is unique to each user.

Did anyone find a solution for this? I want to change the @username mention to be a custom field.
