You're not alone in not figuring that out easily.

When a webpage has some content underlined and blue to indicate it's a
hyperlink and other text in plain black text, there's a natural
assumption that only the underlined text are links.

I stared at that screen and tried many things before accidentally
clicking on the none-underlined text and 'magically' opening a box for
that MARC field.

All the material on a page that *does* something when clicked on
should probably be in the same format, whether underlined, blue, or
whatever just to make it clear that it is clickable.

Just MHO.
