Hi,
I would like to achieve hyperlinks to referenced entities.
I read the forum issues about how to achieve this with a double click on table rows and was able to put that to work. For fields I saw the announcement of a new feature (hyperlink management) in the 3.5 release that could be used for this purpose.
I have the following questions about hyperlinks to entities:
1) the new 3.5 feature turns properties into read-only mode. But I would like to be able to edit a reference propoperty and to use hyperlink navigation as well.
2) I find that it is not very intuitive for a user to understand where he can follow hyperlinks. Shouldn't we create a visual distinction, for instance underline the value of the property or put an extra anchor-symbol in the field or row showing that a hyperlink is present? A suggestion could be to provide hyperlinks through a single click on an new anchor symbol added to each property or row carrying a hyperlink. To follow the hyperlink, the user would need to click on the anchor symbol. A double click in the field besides the anchor image would then put the field in edit mode.
3) another idea might be to conceive hyperlink navigation over referred entities as a default rather than as a special action to declare. The only thing remaining to configure would be to select the entity view.
What do you think about all this?
Thanks for your ideas.
Marc
