Convert a Twitter Direct Message Link by changing the `<button>` tag to an `<a>` tag

When you log into Twitter and have Direct Message enabled, a "Send Message" button will appear. Can someone please provide the URL for sending a DM to a specific user? I tried looking at the code but I could use some assistance. Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Here is what the button looks like:

Below is the truncated code you can view by clicking on Inspect:

`<button type="button" data-name="XYZABCTwitterName" data-screen-name="xyzabctwittername" data-user-id="4203234760" data-original-title="Send a Direct Message to XYZABCTwitterName">
  <span>
    <span>Message</span>
  </span>
</button>`
