Description

This is kind of a two-parter feature request:

Right now there's no easy way to get to more detailed information about a module. Having a link of some kind (a text link or even an npm logo icon link) to the module's npmjs.org url might be helpful here.

Also it would be helpful to have a way to easily and quickly see the dependents for the module. The dependent count that is already shown could also be a link that when clicked would pop-up a list of linked module names or maybe just hover over the count to bring up the pop-up? I dunno, but being able to actually see the dependents and to access those modules would be very handy.

Research direction

Start by locating the module view that displays the module information and dependent count. Check how module names and npm package URLs are represented, then determine how the dependent count should expose linked modules. Done means the module has an npm link and dependents can be inspected and accessed from the existing count.
