OK, that's good. However, I don't really understand why the admin site
employs such an extremely convoluted method here. If you follow the logic
from the change form, here's what happens:
if has_absolute_url (i.e., the object model has a "get_absolute_url"
attribute) ...
-> display "view on site" link, which goes to ...
-> view that looks up the content type object, then...
-> gets the object of that type having the id passed in, then ...
-> calls get_absolute_url() on the object, and ...
-> redirects to that url
How is that ultimately different from:
if has_absolute_url
-> display "view on site" link with href="{{ obj.get_absolute_url }}"
(except that it appears the admin change form view doesn't pass the obj to
the template context?!) ?
