[FR] Direct Linking & Dedicated Pages for Case Elements (Evidence, Tasks, etc.) #1058

Description

@damasch

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When working inside a case in DFIR-IRIS, individual elements such as tasks, evidence, or other items are currently displayed in overlay forms (modal views).

This creates several limitations:

  • Entries (e.g., evidence) cannot be directly linked via URL
  • It is not possible to reference a specific item externally (e.g., in documentation or printed materials)
  • Sharing specific items in chats or tickets is cumbersome
  • The UUID of an element is difficult to copy, as interacting with the overlay often results in moving the window instead of selecting text

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like each case element (e.g., evidence, tasks, etc.) to have its own dedicated page with a unique and persistent URL.

This would enable:

  • Direct linking to specific items داخل a case
  • Printing QR codes or barcodes that reference a specific evidence entry
  • Easier sharing of items in chats, reports, or external systems
  • Reliable access to items without navigating through overlays

Additionally, it would be helpful if:

  • The URL contains or references the element’s ID/UUID
  • The UUID/ID is easily copyable (e.g., via a dedicated copy button or selectable text field)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually referencing items by name or description (not reliable or scalable)
Screenshots or exported reports (not interactive and not suitable for quick access)
Internal navigation through the UI (too slow for frequent operational use)

Additional context

This feature would significantly improve workflows in forensic and incident response scenarios, especially when working with physical evidence (e.g., printed labels with QR codes).

Having direct URLs to specific artifacts would also improve collaboration between teams and integration with external tools or documentation systems.
