Hello John,

Yes, an ASP.NET application can be customized in this manner.

DetailView
If you use ASPxLookupPropertyEditor, you can see a hyperlink to a related record when you enter the master DetailView in View mode.

If you want the same function in Edit mode, you can implement a custom property editor as described at ASPxLookupPropertyEditor - How to add an Edit or View button to the combo box.

This function comes in as part of the ASPxGridLookupPropertyEditor in both View and Edit modes out-of-the-box.

ListView
In the past, we disabled this functionality in ListView for performance reasons. You can enable it back as described at Web - How to show links to referenced objects in ListView grid columns (Open Related Object or OpenObjectController in ASP.NET).
Let me know if you need further assistance.
