WTH can't I link to a more info view for an entity?

Often when creating notifications that refer to a specific entity (for example, alerting me that someone has left the heater on when nobody is home) I’d like to have that notification link to the more info view for that entity so I can control it and see its history.

Can’t find any way of directly linking to these, all entity links in the UI are not actual links and handled by Javascript or something. The new dashboard sub-views will be handy for recreating a control view for each entity I want to do this for, but it’s a shame we can’t just link directly to the more info page as it’s exactly what I want to see.
