[MainUI] Be able to navigate to the Item/Channel from the Link Page

rkoshak commented 3 years ago

The problem

Sometimes there are situations where one wants to start at a Thing, go to the Channels and navigate to the Link and then want to go to the Item. Other times one may want to start at the Item, navigate to the Link and then go to the Thing.

But currently there is no way to get to the Thing or the Item itself from the Link page.

Your suggestion

Make the Channel and Item clickable to navigate to the Thing and Items pages.

Item link should be available with this : https://github.com/openhab/openhab-webui/pull/841

I didn't make the channel a link because it was just as easy to hit "Back" at the top to get there in my experience.

@bigbasec Is it implemented in Oh 3.4? As @rkoshak mentioned sometimes (in my case often :)) you start from the items page (or from model view) and you want to get to the channel/thing page. In this case you cannot use the "back" button.
