Add Hyperlink to related model in admin change form.

[Thomas Güttler]

I would like to add a hyperlink next to the select field of a ForeignKey

There is a do-it-yourself way ​Django Admin: Add Hyperlink to related model, but it would be nice to have declarative solution.

There is an image in the Stackoverflow question which explains it.

Would you accept a PR which implements this?

Thanks for this ticket. Can you describe your use case? Do you want to have the same mechanism as the magnifying glass button for raw_id_fields?

[Thomas Güttler]

Sorry for the late reply. The raw_id_fields displays a hyperlink next to the raw-id. That's great. I would like to have exactly the same for non-raw-id-fields.

The magnifying glass button does something else. It opens a popup. That's not what I was looking for. I was looking for a simple hyperlink to the admin interface of the corresponding ForeignKey.

Seems similar to b79088306513d5ed76d31ac40ab3c15f858946ea #31181. I think it's worth having a look at a patch, yes. Thanks Thomas.

The discussed feature is present in Django==4.1.dev20211119084757 including tests. It is also present in the tag 3.2.9 and 3.2.

For what version is the patch then needed? I could do that, but it would be my first contribution to Django whatsoever.

I will try to make a patch for this.

[Shubh Parmar]

Do I have to provide a hyperlink to the related object's change page or to the related model's changelist page?
