Hi Adam,
let me explain with one use case (I believe there's at least one more, but
it doesn't matter for example's sake):
say you have a model Employee with two proxy models DeliveryPerson and
CallCenterOperator, but only Employee has a ModelAdmin.
You get to the Employee admin changelist and each instance's link is in the
form of */admin/employees/employee/{pk}/*.
What you would like to have sometimes is that links actually follow the
structure of the proxy model they point to.
So, if one Employee instance is actually a DeliveryPerson, then I may want
to have its own link on the changelist to be
*/admin/employees/deliveryperson/{pk}/*, instead of the
*/admin/employees/employee/{pk}/*.
Right now this is possible by overriding one of the response methods in the
ModelAdmin, but I would find very useful a boolean attribute (
*"proxy_changelist_links" *maybe?) on the ModelAdmin for the same purpose.
