From graphical operating systems, people are used to clicking on the words associated with a control (i.e. checkbox, radio button, etc.) and having it activate the control. More and more websites do this too now, and we could too. Where:
it works on the hard/soft form radios now. where else?
Not working for me.

is there a specific todo here?

Basically not (cool!). Only one place I can think where it could become an issue:
There are other changes we might make in the future where this would be an issue (e.g. upgrade Toggles to be label-able radio buttons), but we can just try to keep it in mind whenever we're adding new interface with controls where this is relevant.
I just linked those sets in response to improve set choice interface in rule editor. Maybe we should come up with a comprehensive proposal that best meets these conflicting needs (without being too noisy)? Personally I find linking to sets and roles highly valuable and the controls issue in this ticket only marginally so. To my mind, so long as the links open in a new target window (as they do with sets; not sure about roles), then it's not all that disorienting; the original context is not lost.
re toggles, I think the way to go is to get rid of them and handle them as pointers. There really should be one main way to do checkboxes (even booleans).

Groups/roles are opening in the same tab/window - ticket make role links in rules open in new target window?
Agree re toggles.

no need to ticket; that's coded in dev.
