WDQS UI: provide links from the SPARQL report body to items used in the report
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature
Actions

Description

As a user of WDQS, I want to be able to jump to the item record for any QId used within the body of the SPARQL report. I want the WDQS interface to provide a hyperlink. Wanting to see the item record for a QId in the report body is a commonplace user need, not catered for in the UI, afaics.

Currently WDQS

  • provides a mouseover popup showing the label, when the cursor is moved over QIds (& predicates). The popup has no hyperlink
  • provides a list of matching items when CTRL-space is used when focussing on a construction such as wd:human_settlement

I beg to suggest that CTRL-space when focussed on a wd:Q12345 construction - which currently does nothing - might usefully display a popup which if clicked on, opens the item record in a new window.

fwiw, explained at https://twitter.com/Tagishsimon/status/1616447614140153856

Given that the popup often vanishes once you hover over it (since you’re no longer hovering over the associated entity ID), I don’t think putting a clickable link there would be a great idea.

I beg to suggest that CTRL-space when focussed on a wd:Q12345 construction - which currently does nothing

This is incorrect. Pressing Ctrl+Space in that situation does the same thing as pressing Ctrl+Space after wd:anything else – it searches for the given text, and the search results include the given ID (e.g. Q12345 = Count von Count) but are not limited to that (try pressing Ctrl+Space after wd:Q1 or wd:Q2).

Thank you for that critique. Do you have any positive suggestions to make such that we can get the desired functionality?
