12085	Links to FKs in Admin (proposal)	Vlada Macek	nobody	"I frequently miss the admin ability to automatically link to change_forms of objects referenced by FKs:

Currently when a !ForeignKey field is in list_display, the target's `__unicode__` is called and displayed in the cell. Why not to as well make it a link to the target's change_form provided it has !ModelAdmin registered and the user has the permissions?

Can be controlled by some new attribute of !ModelAdmin, say ``foreign_key_links`` as the tuple of such fields.

Yes, I can currently simulate that by creating a model method for each foreign key returning `<a>` with `allow_tags=True` and replace the FK field in list_display, but these fields are second grade citizens:

 * cannot be ordered by
 * cannot be filtered upon
 * defining them is tedious
 * the quickiest dirty way is to hardcode the target URL to `<a>`

Sorry if it's duplicate or the feature is already in. Was unable to find it.
