Yeah, it would be nice but IMHO the speed penalty is not worth it.
Or may be you would have an option to force to pre-loading of the number (in 
the action window definition of the right link I think) and you should the 
number only when it's used.

That would be inconsistent between forced and non forced links. BUT you could 
sort of make it consistent again by adding a (?) instead of (number) when the 
number of related record is not forced to be pre-loaded. When you get a (?) it 
means that you need to click to know.

So if I take the sale order form for instance, related invoices and picking 
would be forced while other kind of link wouldn't be forced. That way that 
wouldn't be anything slower.
Of course one would still differentiate between (0) and (?).

Still I'm not sure it's worth implementing it. Nonetheless, I ask for more 
rigor in the consistence when displaying related info, see the paradoxes I 
emphases in my previous post for sales and purchases at least.

Yes, I've been thinking exactly to this several times. related links could also 
make it more straightforward what they are pointing too thanks to such a color 
theme.
Still, what should absolutely be avoided is an abuse of colors that would 
certainly have the opposite effect: disturbing the user and loosing him.
