Unclickable links Job and Artifacts on https://ci.kaitai.io/

[Mingun]

For what reasons that pieces of text are drawn as links if clicking for them does not do anything?

It's a bug / unimplemented feature of the display mode summarizing targets by language (see kaitai-io/kaitai_struct#823). The problem is that in the general case, there is no single URL to link to for either Job or Artifacts, because if the Group columns by language is checked (which is the default), each column may be a summary of multiple targets.

I already know about this problem from implementing the summarizing feature, but I haven't cared enough to do anything about it yet. There is a simple workaround - just go to the old unsummarized view by unchecking Group columns by language and click the link you want.

A proper solution would be to show some kind of "context menu" (similar to the test result details displayed when you click on a "failure" result somewhere in the test matrix) upon clicking the Job or Artifacts links of a summarized target, where you can pick the specific target you want.

For now, perhaps I can at least visually indicate that the links don't work in this case, and display a tooltip with a suggestion to uncheck Group columns by language.

I would actually suggest hiding both links to jobs/artifacts when grouping is enabled, and instead offering something like a link to drill down into the results in a particular group that will effectively fill a search box with $TARGET$SUBTARGET once you'll click it.

Good idea - sounds much easier to implement too!

Maybe we can call it "Expand", indicating that the summarized columns are actually several targets collapsed into one column. Or can you think of a better name?
