We solved this at my previous company with the following design: "rich" links
were denoted by "<icon> Link Text".
Hovering over the icon would provide the on-hover action (such as the
bread-crumbing), whereas a click on the link-text would also invoke the action.
The downside of such an approach here would be that it would require two clicks
if I really wanted to get to the linked page :/
