Description
The problem is that the only way to install a mod in SMM is from the modlist. Frequently I find myself having a sorted search in the modlist. I'll view a mod that has a link to another mod. Click through to it, but... since the modlist is sorted, and the mod I'm currently viewing isn't in that list, I can't install it without clearing the search and losing my place in the list. Also, when viewing the full "All Mods" or "Compatible" list, it will not scroll to the linked mod you've just clicked on, so you've got to just search for it manually anyway, defeating the purpose of a live link. [And, if nothing else, it's just logical to have an install button prominently on the mod's own frame.]

Research direction
Start at the mod detail pane's left sidebar and trace the existing installation flow from the modlist. Compare how linked mods are opened with the current install action; done means the viewed mod can be installed directly without clearing or changing the modlist search.
