maybe_link_view

maybe_link_view takes something returned from the database - either some ordinary data, or an object in a related class expanded by a has-a relationship. If it is an object, it constructs a link to the view command for that object. Otherwise, it just displays the data.

This tests whether or not the returned value is an object, and if so, creates a link to a page viewing that object; if not, it just displays the text as normal. The object is linked using its stringified name; by default this calls the name method, or returns the object's ID if there is no name method or other stringification method defined.
