I am very ignorant of GUI programming so I appreciate your analysis.

Is it practical to have a LINK (blue underline) to a search engine whose 
output is an SQL or Query driven get at the information, in which the process 
through DB/2 indexing identifies which fields are common & thus they can be 
LINK (blue underlined) to get at more information about what contents we have 
on that field.

I am just thinking aloud, and not very effectively, on how to deliver value 
to GUI users that parallels what we now have on Green Screen, except give 
them the best that is available instead of rewriting what we now have to 
deliver the same thing in a different medium.
