You can configure columns with hyperlinks to be work list-able.
This causes the column's header to expose a special work list 
icon. Clicking the icon results in populating the dashboard Work List Zone with the entire column. The user may use the Work List zone to easily
process entries one at a time without returning back to the source
query zone. The work list stays populated until the user indicates
they want to overlay the work list by clicking a different column's
icon.
When a user clicks on a work list entry in the dashboard, the system will do whatever it would have done if they'd clicked on the hyperlink in the zone. In addition, the system ticks off that they've worked on the entry (this feature is mostly so users know that they've at least looked at something).
