Smartbar allows you to place buttons on entities that guide you to their related entities/ records to facilitate the navigation, it also helps you to keep your attention to the most important issues or records. You can color-code them for example more than 3 cases red if less green and rearrange the buttons to fit your needs. You can even place buttons for certain views (e. g. not just for related invoices even for unpaid invoices)
