167669 - [RFE] Ability to view and follow "Links" to other Calendar and Mozilla Sections

Status: NEW

(Calendar :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Peter Lairo]

Spinoff from bug 137777, which was reduced to just _creating_ links.

Links could be small "chain" symbols next to entries that have link(s) to other
entries.

It would therefore be possible to link an appointment to a client's address, a
"call" made to that client, and/or an e-mail(s) sent to/from a colleague.

Clicking a link symbol would yield a dropdown list of links to that entry.
Clicking on a item in the dropdown list takes the user to *that* entry - which
in turn may have its own links to other places.

Please see screenshot(s) for clarity...

NOTE: These Links were made visible by clicking on the top chain-link symbol
next to an entry in my "ToDo" list.

Notice that the first item (Standesamt...) has its arrow (far right) depressed,

and that reveals the links associated with that link (nested access to linked
links).

All this interconnectivity from just one little iconic symbol - awesome.

FYI. The yellow phone icons symbolize "Calls"; the portrait symbols symbolize
"Address Book" entries. Fine touches linke this should exist and be consistent
throughout Calendar and Mozilla. :)

Clicking on "Create Link" (left icon) and then hovering over a linkable event
(schedule, call, AB entry) changes the curser to a hand with a chain coming out
of one side. Clicking on that entry changes the hand to have a link come out of
both sides - prompting the user to click another enty, thus creating a link
between two entries.

Very elegant. :)
