Bug Description

Binary package hint: zim

Back links in the status bar is clickable (nice), but this is not immediately clear.

To make this clear to the user, you could consider to:
  - change the cursor (just like web-links) when hovering over it
  - or .... create a button (not following Gnome Human Interface Guidelines I think....)
  - or .... create a hint when hovering over it

There is also a "search backlinks" menu item that triggers the same action.

Technically the underline in the label is the hint that it can be triggered, but I agree this is very minimal.
I don't like to add more interface elements there, especially since this is a feature for advanced users. (Beginners can discover the feature trough the menu.)

Added "..." to label to hint that this item will popup. Don't want to put elements in the statusbar that attract to much attention (see also HIG) so no futher changes planned. Functionality also available trough the menubar.
