Ringo basically has three different types of table-like listings:

  1. Default overview tables (datatables)
  2. Advanced overview tables (extended search)
  3. Listfields

The linkage behaviour in this lists are not the same. 1 and 3 make the whole row clickable (as js onclick). 2 makes the text in the overview within a single column clickable (as html-link)

Despite the fact that the behaviour differs between the different lists js approach comes with some drawbacks:

  1. As the whole row is a link it makes it very error prone in case of selecting/deselecting checkboxes in a row. The user must be very precice on click to not click on the row.

  2. The user can not see the location the link will open

  3. The user can not do a right-click on the link and open multiple pages in different tags. I know this comeswith the risk of confusing the application on its current state. However this is a common use case in more administration like applications where you want to open mulitiple items.

For this reasons I make a change request to consolidate the linkage behaviour of the different lists and use the simple html-links on values in tables as used in 2.
