Enable links to existing allele assessments in VISUAL
Background
A crucial feature of a "minimal CNV support" version of ELLA is linking to other variant interpretations in the Classifications track in VISUAL. This will enable users to investigate and reuse existing interpretations of CNVs that are not exact matches but are likely to have similar functional relevance (e.g. partial overlaps or differing sizes).
This is also a useful feature for all types of variants, as they can give important clues to how other variants should be evaluated. The plan is to enable more advanced overlap functionality with annotation and user warnings (see &9), but linking in VISUAL will still be useful.
Implementation
Create links to any existing allele assessments in the VarDB track in VISUAL. Clicking a link should ideally open in a new tab (target="_blank"
).
