When calling another job from within a jenkins job, you get this type of output in the console:

Run condition [Or] enabling perform for step [Trigger/call builds on other projects]
Waiting for the completion of <sub job XYZ>

The link provided takes you to the other project, but not the specific job within that project you spawned.  When running a lot of jobs in that other project, it can actually be a pain to find your actual job.

Is there an easy way to link directly to the other projects job from the main one?  I know you get the full link after the sub-job has completed but a lot of times you want to look at it as it's executing.

Thanks,
Andrew

Looks like https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Downstream+buildview+plugin would do what I need but I get this message when using it:

Downstream build view status
No Downstream build defined for this project

Not a lot of activity on this plugin in recent years and looks like an adoptions has been requested.
