Syncing JBrowse with interface

[putmantime]

When clicking on a gene feature in jbrowse the interface should redirect to that gene page.

I have implemented a callback in the trackList.json gene track that will load the gene page by clicking a gene feature. Needs to be further developed to allow first loading the gene data modal, then selecting to load the gene page in a link.

I implemented a function called 'load this gene page' to the 'right-click' dropdown list of the gene features. So 'left-click' will again give you the details box and right-click will allow you navigate chlambase to that gene page

Tim, on my browser, left-double-click opens details and right-click opens the menu. However, on web pages I think most people only discover left-single-click actions (which right now currently does nothing). I would suggest having left-single-click open the menu.

Desired behavior:
Left click triggers the context menu where you can choose to navigate to gene page or view the details box.

Current behavior :
left-click: navigate directly to gene page
right-click: trigger context menu where you can choose to display details box or highlight gene.

Switching the context menu to the left-click event is proving very difficult as interacting with the DOM in the iframe is much more limited than in the rest of the app.

Will leave this open as I try to find a solution from the JBrowse team.

Add locust tag to mouse over message

Based on the JBrowse configuration guide, it doesn't seem possible to switch the onclick functionality of left click with the menu functionality of right click. I changed left click to details and right click to load gene page, with a mouse tip describing both. Not perfect, but comes close to the desired functionality.
