Description

Describe the Feature You Want

In the Tilt UI, in the resource side bar, when a resource has a label of Waiting on <other_resource> the <other_resource> text should be a clickable link to the resource we are waiting on (so we can click and see it's logs).

If we're waiting on multiple resources and the text Waiting on <num_resources> resources is shown, you can hover over that text and will see a list/tooltip of the links to the other resources.

Current Behavior

The informational text appears, but it's not clickable/linked (or in the case of multiple resources, you're only left with a number).

Why Do You Want This?

I see this message quite a bit, and my first response is to then go and search for the dep resource and click on the dependency to see what its logs are saying it's doing, so it would be nice to have a clickable shortcut with the message itself!

Research direction

Locate the Tilt UI resource sidebar and the code that renders the “Waiting on” informational text. Start by tracing how resources are selected for viewing logs, then determine how the single-resource link and multiple-resource tooltip should behave. Done means waiting-resource text provides the requested navigation for both cases.
