Use this pattern when displaying a chronological list of messages from different users, such as comments on a topic or notes on a case.
If displaying a user's profile picture with the message, use the "Avatar" style for the image and a user record link for the display name. Use the "Secondary" rich text color for the time field and align components using a side by side layout.
