Hi,
 
Is there a way to make inactive items still viewable on the site when someone clicks a direct link to it?
 
If I simply disable the "add to cart" button when out of stock, the item still shows up in category lists. This of course, is good for those items that will be coming back but not those that are "retired."
 
If I hide the product when it is out of stock, it removes it from the categories, but when you go to the page, it just says...
 
Product with this ID is not available in this category
 
...rather than being able to see the product but not order it.
 
It would be helpful to utilize these direct inbound links to be able to see the "retired" item (with a created stock availability note - something like "this item has been retired and no longer available") but the visitor could still see what it was along with related items, etc. so maybe they could find something similar.
 
Is this doable in the current version?
 
Thanks!
