The ToDo already has a 'Jump to PK on FK Value Click'

This is similar:

On table info, it would be AWESOME if a regex turned the table name
( and maybe the table fkey name ) into a quicklink to jump into that
table's view

Also, it would be really great if a similar regex could turn error messages
/ status messages into a clickable interface

ie ( bad psuedocode):

/FOREIGN KEY \(([\w])+\) REFERENCES ([\w]+)\([\w+]\)/

to:

A_
FOREIGN KEY $1 REFERENCES < a href="table:$2" > $2 </a> ($3)

B_
FOREIGN KEY <a href="table:current , colum:$1 > ( $1 ) REFERENCES < a
href="table:$2" > $2 </a> ( <a href="table:$2 column $3">( $3 ) </a>

It wouldn't be that hard to do in info, as the messages are pretty
standardized. Probably a PITA to do it in messages, but it would be really
nice if insert/create with a bad FK restraint let you click right into the
table.

    I think I could easily do the first part about jumping from a table view to another one using FKs.

    I don't really find this really useful, but if others are ok, I will do it.

    However, I don't really understand the second part...
