Comment:

 The linked label should properly update now both when objects are added
 and changed via the popup, so all the required functionality should be
 there.

 Marco and others who are interested in this, please test and report any
 problems you notice (e.g. I haven't tried in IE).

 I'll leave it into "more tests needed" state as of now -- the
 `options.py:response_change():elif request.POST.has_key("_popup")` path
 needs testing as do quirky PKs and other corner cases.

 > Another minor glitch is that I have a table with a FK on a table of
 hierarchical codes that has a "self" FK. When I open the first popup
 window and I click on the inside label for
 > the "self" FK I don't get another popup but it opens in the same window.
 I'm not sure if it's better in this way or to open a new window but to
 obtain this behaviour it's enough
 > to name the window with the id of the object.

 I'd say handling this is not worth the effort. But you are most welcome to
 tinker with the case.
