title: django admin inlines (and nested inlines) : how can I get this functionality?
body: <p>I'm a little confused as to why this sort of functionality isn't default in the admin, but maybe someone can give me a few hinters to how to go about it. </p>
  
  <p>I have a projects application which keeps track of projects and is to be edited through the admin. Each project has numerous ForeignKey related models (links, flatpages, video, image etc.) that could be placed as inlines within the project admin. </p>
  
  <p>(One or two models have nested inlines, so they don't display in the admin (<a href="http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9025" rel="nofollow">this</a> and <a href="http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/13163" rel="nofollow">this</a> ticket deal with this) )</p>
  
  <p>Instead of being able to edit these models inline on the project admin (which gets messy and difficult to use), I would love a list of all the current instances of that related model, and simple add/edit button for each model which opens a popup with that model's form.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Project Admin:
      - Normal Fields
  
      - Links:
          -Link 1 (edit)
          -Link 2 (edit)
          + add link &lt;- popup
  
  
      - Images:
          -Image 1 (edit)
          -Image 2 (edit)
          + add image &lt;- popup
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so on. How would I go about writing this? I only need to do it for one section/model of the admin panel so I don't think writing my own Crud backend is necessary. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
