    This article will guide you to create a calculated field and add html( in your case, will be <a> tag)

    and adding some scripts on page layout to apply the html tag on SharePoint list view.

    Some you can create the link and display with the display name you want.

  • To make any column clickable u can create custom view either it is edit form or display form. You can create it in the SPD using custom list form, there u can make this column hyperlink and select the src whatever u want means if to redirect it to details  for that particular item or whatever it may be.

  • If you means that editing views.

    Then you may try to modify view and add "Name (linked to document with edit menu)" column.

  • You could do this with the Advanced Computed Field: http://ventigrate.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Advanced%20Computed%20Field&referringTitle=Home if you know your way around CAML. This post was created for SharePoint 2007 but still applies to SharePoint 2010: http://www.moss2007.be/blogs/vandest/archive/2009/03/31/advanced-computed-field.aspx. Just make sure you download the package from the CodePlex site that was designed for SharePoint 2010.

  • Hi FunLee 

    It's not the filename I want to be clickable (that's default)  - but a Title field (so there are a display name) - and there are not such an option in editing a view...
