CTRL+Click on FK = jump to referenced table&value

It would be nice to be able to jump through foreign keys by ctrl+clicking on them. If heidiSQL could switch to the corresponding referenced table and higlight the referenced key, i would be SOO happy and save quite a lot time.

I guess it might come in handy for everyone browsing throug a normalized database. especially when exploring large databases.

This is a standard feature in Mac apps like Sequel Pro and Querious. It would be great to see it added to HeidiSQL.

It would be awesome if you could add it. It would improve data grid navigation a lot. I think alongside this feature, some kind of Back button/shortcut should be added. To allow to go back to previous data grid view.

Ctrl+Click to navigate to the FK target record would be very useful.

Additional idea: Hovering your mouse over the FK value and a preview of the referenced record becomes visible (hovering window, showing the record as a vertical table (column/value).

Yes! Please make this a feature! I just started using HeidiSQL and love it but this really bugs me to always search for the referenced record.

Same request with this old post: "forum.php?t=21715" (Can't post links to even to your own website -.-)

(I've posted this in both to 'link' them)
