Instead of opening a pop-up window to allow selection of the related object, the links simply send the user to the list page for the object.

As a result ajax generated admin fields don't work correctly. While this doesn't break the Django admin itself, it does make extending the admin with Ajax difficult.

An easy fix is to attach the `'related-lookup'` and `'add-another'` `click` events to `document` instead of to the links themselves. This would come at a small performance cost since the events will be triggered on every click instead of just on link click, but with modern javascript engines I think the cost would be unnoticeable, and given how unobtrusive this change is I think the added flexibility justifies the cost.

I'll attach a PR for the proposed fix after I submit this report."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	contrib.admin	dev	Normal	fixed	admin javascript ajax		Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	1
