Comment (by Mark Koh):
I would definitely find it useful if it worked with empty strings as well
as `None`. Currently we have a field in our ModelAdmin that is a
`CharField` with `blank=True` and `null=False` and that field is also
specified in the `list_display_links`. Thus, when that field value is an
empty string we are unable to click it (you can see this in the image
attached to this ticket).
Seeing as the `blank=True, null=False` method is the recommended method
for supporting nullable CharFields I imagine that I'm not the only person
whose seen this problem. I am open to either allowing
`empty_value_display` to acknowledge empty strings or to creating a new
optional attribute for empty strings.
