Re: [IUG] Turning a Status Label into a Link

["Welch, Andrew" <AWelch at auroragov dot org>]

We haven't replaced the status, but we do add a "Request it" link next
to the status using javascript. The js suppresses the link next to each
item if that item is not requestable or if it has a status of MISSING.

Here's an example:

I haven't looked at the script in awhile; let me know if you're
interested and I can send the info you'll need.
