Even with the view fields on prior versions, drill downs are possible using the js installed with the user tool by calling an active link guide (this is what flashboards prior to v7 uses). With the new DV fields, it is possible to send events using these to/from mappings (see p179 of 7.0 'Integrating with Plug-ins and Third-Party Products' guide):
- Signals from module client side to module mid tier - Signals from module client-side to parent AR System form - Signals from AR System form workflow to module - Drill down from client module to an AR System form The last signal can be used to do the drill downs. The verbatim text from the manual for that option reads: "Generates code to perform the drill-down into an AR System form without being dependent on the module HTML being present within an AR System form. This allows the module code to generate HTML that can be just fragments in a portlet environment, while still providing the drill-down capability. The function call is EventDispatcher.drillDownToForm(server, form, view, qualification)." Haven't gotten too heavily into it yet, but these are my first impressions. I would imagine that there are a series of js files with the user tool install that gives the functions and syntax for all the available calls that can be used.
