Opportunity / Account & Contact open

[John]

Is there a way to open the Account/Contact in the Opportunity form?
While viewing an Opportunity, I'd like to just click on the
Account/Contact to open them so I know how to contact them with an
email address or phone number.

How stupid am I? Or is this a complete oversight by MS?

John

John,

This "stupidity" or "oversight" is not on your part. There currently is no
live link FROM the Opportunity record TO the linked Business Contact and/or
Account record. From a real world user workflow perspective, this design
limitation is a no brainer yet it has existed for over 2 years.

You can draw your own conclusions as to why this exists on your own.
