In Table View, double click on ObjectID property should open new tab with document the ObjectID it points to.
As a user, I want to be able to drill down into related documents that are referenced as ObjectID properties on related documents.
It can be similar to how a user can double click on an array property and MongoChef opens up a new tab with the array contents across the documents. For ObjectIDs properties, MonogChef should open a new tab with the document of the ObjectID.

Right-click ObjectID field and choose “Follow Referencd”

Also, being able to quickly view a doc in the Table or Tree view should be available in IntelliShell also because ad-hoc queries are often done use IntelliShell as well.

Thomas, I'm using the latest 2.0.2 on Windows and I don't see the "Follow Reference" option in the right-click context menu on the Table nor Tree views.
Also, double-clicking on a document's "_id" cell on the Table and Tree view do not do anything right now.There should be a way to quickly view a document. Often when querying docs, you'll get a list back and you need to quickly take a look at a few docs to verify you obtained the results you were looking for.
Can we make it at least open a JSON view on double click, maybe in a model dialog? I'm only thinking that b/c I'm used to that behavior from Robomongo.
BTW, Intellishell is awesome! I've been waiting for this in order to stop using Robomongo.

We added a pop-up menu (right-click) option "Follow Reference" for ObjectIDs and DBRefs in MongChef 1.11.
Note that we didn't wire it up to a double-click as that already opens the in-place editor to overwrite the ObjectId.
