Provide Quick Navigation from Access Token to Bot User

Proposal

GitLab's Access Tokens provide a lot of value by themselves, but are needed alongside of their corresponding usernames for more Bot activities - like committing code back to the repository. Getting from the Access Token to the Bot User is unintuitive and hard to navigate, as it requires remembering the name of the access token to get the username of the bot. This task is manageable when there are only a few users or access tokens, but when there are many, it becomes harder to manage when having to navigate through pages of users.

access-token-user

The proposed solution is to provide a link to the Members page with a filter searching for the name of the Access Token, so that navigating from the Access Token to the Bot User is easy.
