Click a link to a loaded resource in the Console view with the resource tracking disabled.
Nothing happens, and the user gets no feedback about why no navigation occurs.

Could you extract method?

I don't like the fact that popover blurs the background and blocks user input outside the bubble. Could we make link non-clickable and show popover on hover instead? Or even better, as in Eclipse, display a little 'hint lamp' near the link. Popover would become visible when you hover over the lamp / click it.

"make sure the resource tracking" shoud be "make sure that resource tracking"

Why are these registered on console only? Things like profiler and timeline could also have links to resources.

Because the bug has been reported for the console only. I will broaden the scope.

As we discussed offline, please handle "Profile" and "Resource" panel links same way.

Also, please move isTransparentRight parameter from calculator to the Graph representation object.
