Comment (by charettes):
I've been working on this lately and
[https://github.com/charettes/django/compare/ticket-13165-edit-and-delete-
links almost everything is working correctly].
The last missing part concerns foreign keys with `to_field` since there's
no way to retrieve the related object based on the selected `to_field`
value.
We've got two options here:
1. Provides views redirecting to the related object change and delete
views based on the provided `to_field` value;
2. Attach a `data-pk` attribute on all options (in the case of `Select`
widget) or to the raw id input to retrieve.
The second option doesn't seems viable since it's requires a lot of
special casing when dealing with different types of widgets.
The first one should be doable by allowing `ModelAdmin.get_object` to
receive a third parameter specifying which field to retrieve it's model
from.
