Nice work. I have also build a (mysql) sql based dashboard for our internal use. It mainly shows agregated lists of data and allows to click on many items to see more details.

We use it to get more insight in our data. It does not allow a user to enter anything.

Basically my app only uses a list of queries. To allow that any selected field is clickable, the result field should be like 'report|name|field,field' so the app knows this is a special link (report) refering to another defined query ('name') and should be passed some values (record specific, here 'field,field').

Yeh sounds like you had a similar revelation to me :-) This can also do the linking between "reports" or "forms". Happy you built one, makes me think this has at least some chance of success.
