Description

In the activity monitor make the blocking spid a hyperlink so when a job id is blocked we can click on the blocking spid and go to the spid that is causing the blocking in the monitor. This is needed because by the time we find the offending process by scrolling it is no longer active.

Research direction

Start by locating the Activity Monitor implementation and the column that displays the blocking SPID. Trace how a displayed SPID identifies another monitor entry, then verify that selecting the blocking value navigates to the causing SPID and remains useful after the original process is no longer active.
