Could you add this feature in readonly (query) mode ?

It is possible to use the "link query" button to see the referenced table. This feature is more difficult to use than the show dictionary feature.
1) Sometimes I have dozen of foreign keys and I find it difficult to find which one to use.
2) I don't like the global option "linked query in a new window". Sometimes, I want a new window, sometimes not. There should be a toggle button next to the link query button.
3) after a while I have several windows opened (problem with MDI)

With the "show dictionary" available all the time, I could easily view information about the referenced table. Of course in read-only mode, I couldn't select a row in the displayed list.

I'd like also a "link query" button for the selected cell if it references a table. There is usually (always?) only one referenced table for a column.

Information about the reference table would be handy too in the status bar.

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests. One remark:

I don't like the global option "linked query in a new window". Sometimes, I want a new window, sometimes not. There should be a toggle button next to the link query button.

If you hold down the Ctrl key while pressing the "Linked Query" button, the opposite of this preference will occur.
