In views using the Customer name or Host customer column, a user-configured Link to view or Link to dashboard on that column was silently ignored. Clicking the cell always opened the built-in All hosts of customer view instead of the user-selected target.

The customer columns started rendering their own anchor tag in Werk #17493, which produced nested anchors. Browsers honored the inner anchor (the painter default), masking the user-configured link.

The customer columns now defer to the column-level link when one is configured. The default link to All hosts of customer is unchanged when no column link is configured.
