I'm always happy to explore ways of improving the navigation of the database. I read your post several times and I'm afraid I don't fully follow the path you're taking here. Can you give me links to pages that you're talking about?
For example, what are you referring to when you mention "its Daylily Database/By Characteristic page"?
I just need more help finding the pages you're talking about. Then I can start to visualize the extra functionality that might be missing.
