Hi there,

I'm asking here because I don't know where else to ask. I made
a small change to

/Zope/lib/python/App/Management.py

to make the management screens show the last entry in the path as the
top as a hyperlink too. Right now, in:  

/foo/bar/baz

you can't click on 'baz', and in my branch you can. That you couldn't
has long been a pet peeve of mine; I try to use it as a shortcut sometimes
in the management screens and then I'm not able to.

I assume the people who originally wrote this code had a good reason for
not making it a hyperlink, however, as they took special pain to 
create the existing behavior. What is the thinking behind this? I
can't really see it being a hyperlink as well as being a cause for
error or confusion. But perhaps this is simply some historical artificact
that nobody got around to changing yet, like with the old behavior of having
'Created public interface' and 'Create user folder' checked in the Folder
add screen.

Regards,

Martijn
