Add clickable count of child IPs to prefixes list

[markkuleinio]

NetBox version

v2.11.12

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

There is a Utilization column selectable in the prefixes list:

The proposal is that clicking the utilization meter would get into the IP addresses list of the prefix (i.e. to the same place as when first clicking the prefix itself and then the IP Addresses tab within the prefix).

Currently clicking on the utilization meter does not do anything so there would be no loss of current functionality.

Use case

This functionality would ease up getting to the IP addresses list for the prefix, for example, when first opening a site, then going to the prefixes list, and now there would be a shortcut to get to the IP addresses of the prefix.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None (although I have no idea how the utilization meter is actually implemented in the page)

From a UX perspective, I don't think it makes sense to turn the graph into a hyperlink.

A better approach IMO would be to add a separate column for the child IP addresses count as a link, which would be consistent with similar approaches for other models. This was proposed under #4611 but hasn't yet been implemented.

Marking this as blocked by #7845

While #7845 would make this more efficient, this can probably still be accomplished with reasonable performance. (We might not want to make it a default column, though.)
