      Description

      Participant Reports have the Contact Name in column 1 linked to report instance 2, which (out of the box) is the Constituent Detail report. This makes some sense. There is a problem, though, if the user edits the Constituent Detail report, esp. by adding filters and changing its name, not realizing that this report is used in programmed links. At the very least, I suggest that this report should be Reserved by default (it isn't Reserved in the Joomla demo), and have some language about it's use in the description so users (like myself!) don't customize it, creating confusion when Contact Name links don't work as expected. My own personal preference would simply be to link Participant Report contacts to their Contact Summary, rather than to another report.
