it's pretty hard to know what the right thing to do is if a field is part of multiple foreign keys. 

but, if that's not the case, what about making each of the columns a link. seems like an improvement over the status quo.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",743371103,Support linking to compound foreign keys,

the UX for linking from a table to the foreign key seems tough! 

the design in the other direction seems a lot easier, for a given primary key detail page, add links back to the tables that refer to the row.

would you be open to a PR that solved the second problem but not the first?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",743371103,Support linking to compound foreign keys,

Currently the `database_name` column becomes a link (because it's a single foreign key) but the `table_name` one remains a non-link:
