[feat]: Provide quick access to official object reference doc

Open tzinm opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

Prerequisites

  • [x] I've searched in the documentation and did not found anything related to the feature I'm about to request.
  • [x] I've read the release note and the one I'm about to create is not already developed.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

No specific problem. This is a usability improvement. When using the Show all data feature (either at the record level or at the object level), it would be very helpful to have quick access to Salesforce's official documentation for standard objects.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally, when viewing ALL DATA for a standard object (e.g., PriceBook2), a direct link could be provided to its corresponding Salesforce Object Reference page.

There are two possible UX approaches that could work well:

  1. Inline option: A small icon or text link next to the object name at the top of the ALL DATA view. Image

  2. Dropdown enhancement: Add a new entry to the dropdown menu under the "More" button labeled something like "Object reference doc". Image

Hi @tzinm Are you aware of this link already shown in the popup ?

Hi @tprouvot

I’ve been using the extension for a long time and hadn’t noticed this option. It’s exactly what I was looking for. Quick access to the documentation. Thanks a lot for pointing it out!

I checked the history and see it was added a couple years ago (PR #235)

As I mentioned in issue #961, it might be a good idea to add this feature to the documentation so others can find it easily (where it appears and what links it provides). Would you be okay keeping the issue open as a follow-up to add it to the docs?

Thanks again.

What I have realised is that it only works with standard objects. I am working on a project in which we have implemented Field Service for inventory management, where some entities are specific to this cloud.

For example, the SerializedProduct entity. Clicking on the link that appears in the extension takes us to the Overview of Salesforce Objects and Fields.

The documentation link is only available for standard objects. The documentation link is only available for standard objects. Given the different clouds and how URLs are structured, it seems like a tedious task to provide links for all objects 😅
