combotests and pages

I'm getting ready to migrate from our instance of Hobbit to Xymon and I'm
currently planning refining the page layouts and tests.  What I'd like to do
is have our top page report the results of combo tests on different classes
of (redundant) systems in particular environments but have it so that when
you click on one of the tests it takes you to a particular page instead of
the details for that test.  Is that possible?

			Web/http	LDAP		DB
			==============================
Production		(green)		(green)		(green)
Test			(yellow)	(green)		(red)
Development		(green)		(green)		(green)

For example, I have 4 web servers, 4 LDAP servers, and 2 DB servers in each
of 3 environments, production, test, and development.  So I would have 3
combo "hosts" with the columns corresponding to each type of server (web
server, LDAP, DB servers) and each column is green if they're all up, yellow
if any of them are down, and red if they're all down.  I'm pretty sure I can
figure out how to configure the combo testing appropriately to get the
desired colors, but I cannot figure out how I would make it so the clicking
on a "test" for a "host" would take me to a subpage instead.  There's not
much documentation in the combo.cfg or hosts.cfg man pages regarding how it
works.

Is this possible?

Thank you,
