Most of the necessary code already seems to be in the 6.x-1.x branch. The attached patch just adds a few lines of code to display "Links" as an option from the select list on the filter settings form. I'm using it on a site and haven't run into an issue.

This patch is working fine for me, except it does not work with ajax on, so it refreshes the page every time. Would love to get this working with ajax enabled.

I'm bumping the version up to a more current branch. The attached patch is the same one from #4, but I updated the filename to match the new branch version. It applies to 2.x cleanly, but I haven't tested it yet in a site to see if the module is still functional.

Tested patch in #6. Patches cleanly, works as described.

Thanks a lot for backporting this very useful feature, is there any chance this could be applied to 6.x-3.x as well?

I´ve got this working in 6.x-3.x-dev following the same logic applied by the patch in #6, it doesn´t work with ajax on though.

Any suggestions for making this work with ajax?

Has this patch ever been committed to 6.x-2.x?

Patch in #6 is also working for me and code looks ok.
