Display hand when hovering over objects with Navigation Links

When hovering with the mouse over a display object that has a Navigation Link attached to it, the mouse cursor should change to a hand when not in edit mode and it should navigate on single-click instead of having to double-click.

    In PI Vision 2019, navigation links are now more discoverable on a display. When hovering over a symbol with a navigation link, the mouse cursor will change to indicate that there is a link and the symbol's tooltip will display the configured hyperlink. Navigating is now done using a single-click instead of a double-click for all symbols except for the trend, where a double-click is still required so that single-click trend interactions (trend cursor, highlighting a trace) are still possible.

    From my point of view it a bug, because changing mouse cursor to a hand is standard for web applications.

    Also, PI Vision 2017 is not consistent since that the hand symbol and single-click is used for text objects with a navigation link.

    Also, it should show a hint for any hyperlink on mouse over

    This seems like a must have for use to enable mobile use, not having it is slowing down the adoption of vision at our site

    Agree as a bug. Very standard web navigation. Our users find it hard to locate links on complex displays.

    I'd really love to allow enabling navigation links to work via single-click rather than double-click. On a mobile device, this would make navigation links SO much easier to use!

    When adding a hyperlink to a text in PI VIsion, the cursor turns in to a pointing hand when hovering over the hyperlink and the navigation event fires after a singel click on the hyperlink. When adding hyperlink to a graphic object, the cursor does not turn into the pointing hand when hovering, and you need to double-click to fire the navigation event. The graphical object's hyperlink should result in the cursor turning into the hand symbol, and navigation event should fire after singel-click.
