Comment (by Carlton Gibson):
Hi Natalia -- good example.
The inline has access to the parent object, so that direction at least is
covered.
For any remaining cases not covered, I'd be inclined to put them in ''"the
admin is not your app"'' land — just write a custom view: the admin
doesn't have to do everything, no matter how niche.
My suspicion is that a hook here would get very little use. (It's been
inactive for 11 years after all.) Nonetheless every reader of the admin
site docs would have one more method to read about and understand, before
coming to the conclusion it wasn't relevant to them. As such, I'd lean (as
often) towards thinking it probably wouldn't pay its way.
Thus I'd agree that wontfix is the right conclusion.
