XF 1.2 Repositioning Custom User Profile Fields in Threads

[DeltaHF]

I have a drop-down selection custom user profile field, and I want to customize where it's displayed in the message_user_info box. I'm also using the "Value Display HTML" option to customize the output.

How can I display this custom "Value Display HTML" for the profile field in my custom location? I have tried {$user.customFields.field_id} but it's only returning the Value of the choice the user has selected for the field.

If displaying the HTML isn't possible, is there some way I can at least display the Text of the user's choice?
