Environment: Ubuntu 16.04
Python version: Python 2.7.12
NetBox version: v2.3.5

Proposed Functionality
Adding the ability to click a button or URL next to each established or planned connection on a device. This button or URL opens a page that lists point A and B of the connection, similar to the page shown when originally creating a connection. This URL can then be used to link directly to a connection rather than having to reference both devices individually when opening tickets, or creating/referencing documentation.

Use Case
Referencing very easily via email/tickets or physical QR codes a direct link (URL in browser) to a connection between 2 devices (power and networking).
As opposed to having to look up the device and scroll through the ports, and link to both devices individually.

Database Changes
Not a developer, so do not know. The data is already there so I assume none.

External Dependencies
Not a developer but I assume none.

original message:
Is there any way to reference a connection between devices via a URL? For example when you create a new connection it shows you the page with Side A and Side B. However once the connection is created I can't seem to find a way to get back to this page. I want to be able to print QR codes to stick on my cables that will pop up this URL showing Side A and Side B.

If this doesn't exist can this be a feature request?

Thanks,

This doesn't seem like a reasonable view to implement given the current model: All the information it would provide is already available elsewhere (i.e. on the device view). I'm sure we'll come up with something covering this as part of #20 in v2.5 anyway, once NetBox has been extended to model cable paths.
