Should a Contact Reference custom data field be hyperlinked to the corresponding contact record when the administrator views the field (when the custom field is included for a contact)?  In my implementation (3.1.4) and in both the 3.1 and 3.2 sandboxes, Contact Reference fields are not hyperlinked when you view a contact record.

There was an issue submitted and closed as "Cannot Reproduce" (CRM-6072) suggesting that Contact Reference fields should be hyperlinked, but it's not clear what the correct behavior should be.  The issue mentions having the correct permissions, but doesn't say what permissions are needed.

Any insight would be appreciated.
