NetBox version

v3.2.0

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

From the Demo Site:
Currently, if you define a contact role (IE: Administrative) and assign primary and secondary contact priorities, these priorities are only visible when on the contact role page.

If you click on a contact (IE: Michael Scott) who is defined as a secondary priority contact for administrative there is no way to tell that there is another primary contact when on Michael Scott's page.

Please create the ability to display the full escalation hierarchy of a contact chain on any of the contacts defined in the chain.

Use case

By clicking on Michael Scott's contact you can see that he is defined as a secondary contact for site DM-Scranton, but unless you go click on other areas of the site you are not able to easily jump to who is the primary contact for that site directly from Michael Scott's page.
This requires several navigation clicks rather than just jumping right to the primary contact's information.
