1. A machine implemented method for managing physical and logical elements of a storage system represented by storage objects, comprising: receiving a user-defined navigation preference to view an attribute of a second storage object representing a second element of the storage system from a navigation screen defined for a first storage object representing a first element of the storage system; updating a mapping data structure by storing a hierarchical relationship of the second storage object, based on the user-defined navigation preference; associating the hierarchical relationship with a feature link and a tag; and presenting the tag at the navigation screen defined for the first storage object, where the tag identifies the feature link and the feature link allows navigation to a second navigation screen defined for the attribute of the second storage object based on the stored hierarchical relationship of the second storage object.
