This is important for the Nag-Kronolith-integration. It allows to link  
to an object (that raised the alarm) without leaving the current ajax  
interface. It's really different from the URL option which is a  
regular deep link.

I don't think this is going to work, because those links tend to come  
from different applications than the current one. Catching clicks  
would require knowledge about that application, i.e. how to link to  
that application's object while you just have a static HTML link.
