Description Ruediger Landmann 2013-11-28 05:33:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
The topics presented in a topic map are not linked to the topics themselves. To get from a map to a topic, you need to type or copy-and-paste the topic ID into the search box search, then click search.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Build 201310180711

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any topic map
2. Click on a topic ID

Actual results:
Nothing happens.

Expected results:
PressGang takes you to the topic you clicked. Clicking a topic ID should take you to the topic itself; clicking a revision number should take you to that revision of that topic.

Hey Rudi, if you right click on any Topic ID in a map it'll bring up a menu that has multiple options, eg: Edit the Topic, see where else the topic is used and see the last 5 revision messages. I believe this is what you are looking for with the exception of the revision.
Comment 2 Ruediger Landmann 2013-11-28 05:53:10 UTC 
Only broadly. That's very slow, not very discoverable, and hits me with a whole bunch of options when really, in almost every case, all I want to do is go to the topic! The information in that pop-up is better suited to a hover, IMHO. 

Nevertheless, good to know though -- thanks!

The right-click option should make it clear that the "edit" button will open the link in a new tab, and should offer an "open in new window" option as well. The left click I'm asking for in the bug should just go straight to the topic.
Comment 3 Lee Newson 2013-11-28 05:58:26 UTC 
That's some good reasoning to me, in this case though I believe it should be a double click because a single click is likely to open the topic by accident if you try to edit anything.
Comment 4 Lee Newson 2013-11-28 06:00:45 UTC 
Just adding to above that it could also be something like a key + click combo (ie ALT + single click).
Comment 5 Ruediger Landmann 2013-11-29 00:00:53 UTC 
Both those options would be fine, but both still break with the established, expected behaviour of a web page. 

How about: when you navigate to a topic map, it's not immediately editable, but the links behave like normal hypertext links. If you want to edit a map, you need to click an "edit" button (think Wikipedia). 

This also prevents inadvertent edits to maps.
