  Hi,

it would be very helpful if there would be a link directly to the catalog entry
of an item/set when browsing an item/set in any store. This way, you don't
need to go all the way back to the catalog page and manually search for it or
browse your way to the entry.

As far as I know this is now not possible (or I have completely missed it for
years).


It isn't something that is currently supported. I agree that it should be,
with one caveat: the link should open in a pop-up window. Here's why: if
a new user is browsing in my store, there shouldn't be a significant risk
that they accidentally navigate away. Having catalog links that cause the buyer
to meave the store would do that.

But pop-ups, that allow them to see the price and availability of my items in
other stores, that's fine. The easier it is to get intormation, the better
informed all buyers will be, which is great for the market as a whole.

Great suggestion.

Marc.
