These use cases are important to consider:

• It's not possible any more to have a link in a message template directly to the relevant item or trigger.

• We can't open a couple of items in new windows (e.g. middle-clicking a few items in a list), which otherwise makes going through many items much easier (for non mass update changes)

• And we can't even share links to items and triggers between colleagues anymore.

This was a terrible usability choice. Please fix this soon.

Please consider the configuration option - choice for GUI if the zabbix frontend uses modal forms or can work without modal forms as in version 6.x (at least for all forms uder hierarchy in Data collection: Hosts and Templates).

I don't think making it configurable is a good option if it can be avoided.

It could perhaps be a modal form, if you make sure to change the URL when opening it, so we can copy/paste it and get to the same item/trigger from that.

Yes, my first idea in PS-2150 was adding link inside to every modal form, to access all related objects like in inventory form. But how you mentioned loss of mouse middle button click, then all new functionality with modal forms is unusable.

It's also a problem when clicking on parent items, when an item is inherited through multiple templates. If you click on the first parent item and then the second, then you can't go back to previous ones. You can only close the modal form and go through them again. The back button loses its functionality.

There is also another issue connected: when list the triggers filtered on tag over more than one host. There is no link on hostname and then no possibility to easy check MACRO used in trigger function.

It is where https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-9239 would be also useful.

Implemented in development branch feature/ZBXNEXT-9221-7.0

Available in:

• 7.0.4rc1 e2d951978ee
• 7.2.0alpha1 (master) b68d24e4d31

Added links to parent host and template are OK, but we still missing possibility to click on link that opens any other triggers, items, graphs, discovery, web configured by that related host.  

Better solution of that direct link to host could be using event to show simple HOST CONFIG popup with links to related Host, (and "all" that host) Items,Triggers,Graphs,Discovery,Web (Like in inventory form). Or add popup activation column "..." to all lists where is Hostname with that link to configuration. 

Please do not disable any of that related link (For example: If current list contains filtered "triggers" from various hosts, then HOST CONFIG popup link to "Triggers" just apply change filter of current list of triggers.  Or open new window with that all triggers of related host).
