Open file from document library by selecting something other than name

Question

Currently to open a file you have to click on name. Is there a way to open this file by clicking on another column instead of name? Thanks

Answer 1

• Open the AllItems.aspx page for the specific list.

• Search for the tag

• List item LinkToItem="TRUE" to whichever column you want the link:

  <ViewFields> <FieldRef Name="Attachments"/> <FieldRef Name="LinkTitle"/><br/> <FieldRef Name="linkThisColumn" LinkToItem="TRUE"/> <FieldRef Name="data_x0020_column"/> <FieldRef Name="Another_x0020_column"/> </ViewFields>

Change Title (linked to item with edit menu) to different column
