I guess it's all in the design... and the intent of the application... 
my users tend to stay in the show or edit views for the majority of 
their time...

My show view has all the detailed information for the individual models 
that just get a name, a description and a few choice tidbits in the 
index view.

>From 'show', the right nav "context" menu lets the users traverse the 
model relationships with a simple hyperlink click (Functional 
Requirement X is related to an Marketing Requirements Document, a 
Marketing Requirement, one or more Projects, one or more Applications, 
one or more Test Cases, one or more Scenarios, etc, etc, etc. Following 
relationships goes from show to show, and from a show, you can create or 
remove relationships to existing models, or create new models to be 
related from the context of the current model, generate PDFs, perform a 
traceability analysis, etc.

There is a top nav which lets you get to any index view if you want to 
navigate to  a model "outside" the current context (i.e., not related to 
the model you're currently looking at).
