[Summary-Talk] Re: Summary 2.6.4 Phrase with Link to Engine

[Cameron Knowlton <cameron@xxxxxxxxx>]

you know, as soon as I went to implement this, I noticed a design 
'problem'... I *like* the existing drill down links that I have setup 
for the phrases by engine/engines by phrase... if I swap them out, I 
kind of lose perspective on the data.

it occurred to me that I'd like to see an additional column with nothing 
more than an icon (rather than repeating the phrase, for example) that 
could be wired up to the phrase on engine link.

then I could have cake and eat it too, yum.

a good icon would be the engine favicon, of course, but anything would 
do. simply repeating the phrase would be misleading, since it would then 
appear twice, each doing something different when clicked on.

what do others think? I just *love* the functionality, I'm hoping to 
find a clear method of deploying it to my users.

another thought would be to use a target="_blank" for the link, since 
it's sending the user away from the stats (they're likely to close the 
window after looking at the engine results, which loses their place in 
the stats.)

thanks again, Jason!
