Interactions: Provide more informative label for edge tooltip links to "Detailed Views"

[jvwong]

Background

Within Interactions, edge tooltips display one or more SIF MEDIATOR_IDS under 'Pathway Links'.

Following link for [1] in this case gives a interaction from CTD

We could certainly provide more useful clues to help a user decide. I personally find detail in these links far more informative.

Ideas

Good: A traverse on each to fetch a list of the participant display names:

				"expression of CDKN1A protein",
				"CDKN1A protein",
				"TP53 protein/HSPB1 protein complex"

Better:?

Best: Max's idea of 'small multiple' preview snapshots

We need to consider the expense of doing many fetches for these links. There can be dozens or even hundreds of them.

We now slot this list of numbered links under the tooltip subheading "Open a more detailed view of this interaction". And indeed, the caveat is that these can be lengthy in a few cases:

I propose to implement the approach described above, that is, traversal to fetch gene and interaction names. Indeed, we (1) already possess a rudimentary PC 'traverse' wrapper in src/server/external-services/pathway-commons.js and (2) traversals are rather lightweight in that multiple URIs for a given path can be done in a single GET.

Req'd tasks:

• Modify traverse to accept multiple URIs for a given path
• Create a function to map URI, path => genes/interaction text via traverse
• Integrate into interactions data formatting getInteractionsCyJson
