This module makes the document name in the messaging menu notifications clickable, allowing users to navigate directly to the document (e.g., Sale Order, Purchase Order, etc.) by clicking on its name.

When you receive a notification about a document you can:

  • Click on the document name to open the document form view directly
  • Click anywhere else on the notification to open the chatter as usual
  • Click the check icon to mark the message as read

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0

Makes the document name in messaging menu notifications clickable, so users can jump straight to the related record (for example a sales order or purchase order) instead of only opening the chatter.

This module changes how notifications behave in the messaging menu at the top of Odoo. Normally, clicking a notification opens the conversation (chatter) linked to it. With this module, the document name shown inside the notification becomes a clickable link.

  • Clicking the document name opens the form view of that record directly, for example the sale order or purchase order the notification is about.
  • Clicking anywhere else on the notification still opens the chatter as before.
  • The check icon still marks the message as read.

The link only appears for notifications that are tied to a real document. Notifications coming from discussion channels or the mailbox are left unchanged, so they keep their normal behaviour.

When a link is available, the document name is shown in a clickable style (pointer cursor and primary colour) and carries the tooltip "Open document", so users can tell at a glance that it can be clicked. The module does not add any new menus, models, fields, business rules, emails or scheduled jobs; it only extends the existing notification display and click behaviour in the backend web client. It depends on the standard Discuss/Mail app.
