If you've got enough development to try your own ticket system, making the
following change should be pretty easy:

Adding the view is really easy: merely add the 'lookup' to the display of
whatever you want... It's just another property of Requestor you can
display.  See my recent mail about adding to the My* Elements, or add it
to the main listing (I think that's defined  in config.pm)

Search and filter, similarly, it's mostly a matter of cloning... take a
look for sections in Search and Web.pm using ValueofRequestor, and copy
that I think, then make changes as to what property you are using.
