[Chameleon] Looking for a Widget

[Jason Fournier]

A simple implementation of this function could be the following:

~ line 454 QueryResults.phtml::

In the foreach( $aRows as $aRow ) you could build a URL using distinct 
values from the queried layer then header("Location:") to that site. 
For instance:

header( "Location: http://www.mydomain.org/find.asp?id=".$aRow['linkid'] );

Where linkid is a field in your queried layer specific to the point 
queried.  Note that you'd probably want to add in some checking (eg, if 
there's more than one result layer being queried OR if there's more than 
one record returned for a given layer) to handle specific cases.  If you 
just put the header in there without conditional checking you may get 
unexpected results ;)
