Comment (by Antoliny):
Replying to [comment:3 Tim Graham]:
> What's the use case for str being a blank value and what is your
proposal to fix it?
I think that a `__str__` value being composed entirely of blank spaces is
extremely rare unless it's a user mistake. However, for fields, when they
consist only of blank spaces, they are treated as `None` and return the
default empty_value("-"). Similarly, when `__str__` is composed of only
blank spaces, it should return a default empty_value like "-" so that it
can function as a link when set in `list_display_links`.
It seems that adding a bit of logic to the
`item_for_result`(contrib.admin.templatetags.admin_list.py) function would
suffice.
