Picklist that can link to grid / bom / … tab

[philipfrench]

Please extend the list of options how a picklist link can be rendered.

Instead of just “Item Descriptor” to link to the item details, I want to link directly to other tabs.

Currently user is forced to navigate via the Item Details.

This is not just about saving the user some clicks, it helps understanding.

Two examples

1. A grid column (or item details) with picklist to “Document”. I want the user to navigate directly to the attachments tab of that record.

2. Imagine a grid with table of “Part Options” links.

The “Part Options” column is a picklist to the “Part Options” workspace.

But this workspace contains no real meta on Item Details, the main data is on the grid.

When the user is forced to navigate via Item Details, it is confusing and does not help his/her understanding of the data model.

If the link could directly navigate to the Grid of the Part Options record, the relationship would be easier to understand.

I know I can create my own link with a computed field, but I cannot do this in combination with “Latest Version” option.

Please extend the list of the options available to render the picklist. Grid and Item Details picklists please, as an option on the field definition, not inside the picklist definition itself.

This would help in many situations! Thanks for posting this idea.

This is needed from a lean perspective and to not force the users to move via tabs they don't see use for.
