Report Print Preview: “Go to main table” link for display method fields

Situation:
A report containing e.g. PurchParmLine.itemId() will not show the orange hyperlink in the print preview screen that allows the user to jump to the main table.

Solution:
To make add a link to a display method field on a report you must replace the display method field by a temporary table datasource. Populate the desired field and send the temporary datasource.

public void executeSection //e.g. located in PurchParmLine body
{
InventTable tmpPrintItemId; //any table with the ItemId field will do
    ;
tmpPrintItemId.ItemId = PurchParmLine.itemId();
element.send(tmPrintItemId);
super();
}

Now you can add a Field with Properties Table = Inventtable and DataField = ItemId, which will print the contents of PurchParmLine.itemId() and will have the orange hyperlink in the print preview that allows the user to jump to the main table.
