Is there a way to have separate pages for inline admin forms in Django?

Question

Lets say i have a model A. Then, i have several models B, C, D, E etc that each have a foreignKey to model A. I know that i can set B, C, D etc as inlines to model A so that when i create a model A it will show formsets for adding multiple items for each subModel, but i think this would make a fairly cluttered and very large page.

Is there a way to somehow, instead of having all of these formsets inline on the same page, to have each formset on a separate page? in other words, there would be links from model A to create/edit associate model B's, create/edit associated model C's, etc?

Thanks!

The trivial answer would be to create a file:

${TEMPLATE_DIR}/admin/app/modelA/change_form.html

Inside your change form, you do this:

{% extends "admin/change_form.html" %}
{% block after_related_objects %}
<ul>
   <li><a href="/admin/app/modelB/{{ original.modelB.id }}/">Edit modelB</a></li>
</ul>
{% endblock %}

It's kinda primitive, but it does what you want. Lists and complex aggregations are trickier, and you'd want to test for original's presence to make sure you don't generate template errors.
