Dashboard improvements -> Popup widgets

Feature requests
1

Hello,

As a Home Assistant user, I am increasingly using Gladys as a complement for its ease of implementation and philosophy.

However, when you have many devices, the dashboards become a bit complex to manage if you want to keep good visibility.

Moreover, for a type of equipment, if you want to manage several things, you have to publish several widgets (ex: for my Yamaha amplifier, I need to publish a widget for the power (to turn it on, off), a widget for the source (if I want to change the source …) which quickly overloads the dashboards.

HA allows managing popups and/or associating actions with a widget (such as opening a page that provides more details or linking to another dashboard).

Without overloading Gladys, I think it would be interesting to have similar possibilities in Gladys (I could, for example, have the publication of a widget for my amplifier and, for example, associate the opening of another dashboard that allows me to visualize and interact with the different functionalities of my amplifier (turn on/off, change source, manage volume …)

I am well aware that I often ask to have, in Gladys, features that are close to those of HA but it is true that these features are very practical.

But maybe there are already features in GA that I have not yet explored.

Thank you

@filbou40 I took the liberty of changing your title to make it more explicit.

No worries, you did the right thing.

Hello,

I am completing my improvement request.

I continue to familiarize myself with Gladys and, as many have said, the external integrations have made Gladys take an extraordinary leap. Of course, a few features are still missing to make it the equal of HA, but the gap has considerably narrowed. In HA, I use a dashboard in the form of an « image element » on a floor plan of my house. I tried to reproduce the same thing with Gladys using the Home View widget. I find it more practical than in HA where I position the icons in a YAML code. However, in HA, I can display an icon and then display a popup when I click on the icon (for example: I display the temperature of a room but, if I click on the temperature, I display a popup that allows me to adjust the temperature or turn off the air conditioning). It would be great to be able to do the same thing in Gladys.
