Yes, it's supposed to go into the viewer.

I tried the "Search" dialog way, but I couldn't find the class for it. So I 
went to the avatar picker and dug deep down to the messaging core. But I 
couldn't find a "simple" way to find the UUID.

Of course I could always keep a cache (as I only want the UUIDs of people who 
appear in chat), but that seems like a sledgehammer way of doing it ;)
