Alexander Stephen Cameron commented on ISIS-1180:
-------------------------------------------------

There is also a possible enhancement related to this issue, to make Isis display URL and URI types in meaningful ways. I'd like to do some research on this before adding it, so this is a reminder note essentially.

> It makes sense to define code-list entries as objects so that they can be managed in the same way as other kinds of objects in Isis. However, such objects (e.g Color, Region, Salutation) are likely to have only one property, the code 'value' or 'name'. If another type of complex object has a property of type Color say, it makes no sense to display the assigned Color as an object (with an icon and a link), as there is no reason to navigate to that code-list entry object, all we want to see is the title(), which will be the value.
