NetBox version

v3.4.1

Python version

3.8

Steps to Reproduce

Create a device with at least one power port
Create another device with at least one power outlet
Connect the power port to the power outlet with a cable
Click on either the power port or the power outlet to get the main "overview" page of the port or outlet (URL should be /dcim/power-ports/{id} or /dcim/power-outlets/{id})
In the "Connection" table on the page, to the right of the "Cable" cell, the cable's ID # will be shown [correct], and the cable trace button to the right of the ID will have an incorrect URL, to /dcim/interfaces instead of /dcim/power-ports or /dcim/power-outlets

Expected Behavior

Expect the cable trace button to trace the power cable, and not some other random interface (which may or may not actually be connected, and hence might throw an error).

Observed Behavior

The Cable Trace button should be referencing /dcim/(power-ports|power-outlets)/{id}/trace/ but instead it references /dcim/interfaces/{id}/trace/. I poked through the code a little bit but I couldn't figure out where/how it is building the URL (possibly due to my very limited Python skill).
