Extend the current supersede functionality to allow text to be entered on the supersede link. This will allow users to easily figure out why parts have been superseded.

Automotive industry, Global Windchill progect Manager, for this request, all users want this enhancement.
We are using WT PDM v12.0.1.3 in our production environment
We are using supersede functionality, it is very basic to show the bread crumb trail forwards/backwards. But when users ask "Why is this part superseded ?" - they have to troll ECR/ECNs, PRs, other documentation and most of the time ask the local Jedi to figure out the root cause reason.
If text was available on the supersede link then when the link was created the user could enter "Supersede per document xyr" or "Supersede info - reference ECN abc" etc. This would be crystal clear for all WT users.
When superseding a part through the affected objects table. in a change task activity, it could be great if you could actually see the new/existing part in Resulting objects, in the same way as when you revise a part.
Then you can locate the change from both the supersede part and the the successor and you can see both parts in the change summary.
Just an additional idea
