NAV should produce QR codes for links to rooms and IP devices

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When in the field, identifying equipment and getting information about them in NAV can be somewhat tedious.

Describe the solution you'd like

If NAV could generate QR codes to link back to individual devices or rooms, these could be printed on stickers and used to label equipment and wiring closets. In this way, when one is in the field, one can easily get information about rooms and devices by simply scanning the QR codes with one's mobile phone.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There are likely browser plugins that can generate QR codes for any visited URL. However, if the functionality were in NAV itself, QR codes could be generated in bulk for groups of rooms and monitored devices, if need be.

Additional context

This idea was pitched in the NAV reference committee on 2022-09-01
