 Description   

In beta 7, clicking on inherited content like the meta navigation or promos will simply result in nothing happening. That is a very poor user experience, as it is not clear why nothing happens.

I have no perfect idea what to do instead, maybe Andreas has input. As an example, we could show a message inplace that states "This content is inherited from XYZ. Click again to go there".

Are there any security implications? I assume that inherited content is not displayed when I am not able to read it, but it could mean I go to a page that I am not allowed to edit. In that case, clicking on such an item should probably state "You do not have the rights to edit this content". Not sure I like this -> Andreas, ideas?

I'm moving this to 5.0, since I think we should come up with a quick solution rather sooner than later. However, this is not going to be tackled for the 4.x family any more.
