@fkorotkov here’s why a tags would be more effective - they are meant to handle these things on the browser end. It will be easier to fix by just switching over.

Not only that, but any keyboard shortcuts, etc supported by that browser will just work with a tags.

Agreed, need to investigate how tags are playing along with the SPA nature of the front end (if there is a refresh when you click on a task from a build page or simply a GraphQL call like right now).

I’ll try migrating this to an a tag later today, and if it all works as expected then maybe we can look in to switching the rest of the codebase.

Update on this:

So I tried implementing it, but it messed up the styling, and made React fail the DOM tree tests, because a tags can't be the parent of a table row.

So yeah, this sadly didn't work.
