Description

I just thought it might be nice if the navigation through the tables would be easier and quicker.

Right now if I'm in a table and want to follow a foreign key to its table, it takes relatively long to navigate where I want to go.

1) click on the table icon
2) wait for popup animation
3) reposition mouse
4) click "open ..." button

Ideally it could be just like browsing a website:

1) click on "link"

Maybe clicking on a foreign key cell while holding the command key could be used for that.

While the cmd key is pressed and the cursor if over a non-null fk-cell, the cursor could be changed to the pointer-hand symbol. cmd+option could be used for opening the the "link" in a new tab.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the table view’s foreign-key cell and the existing table-icon or “open...” action; done means non-null foreign-key cells support the described modifier-key navigation, including opening a new tab with cmd+option.
