Description

Currently links are rendered differently across menu, screen and form.

We have:

• link in menu-items
• link in screens
• hyperlink in forms, in field definitions
• sub-hyperlink in forms, in display-entity in field definitions

But how the links are rendered is not consistent. So can link-type="ajax-window" be used to trigger a popup window, while it can't be used in a link in a menu-item, nor from a form
