Currently in the Check Out, Items Out, and Check In screens a pre-cat title is a link to the catalogue record the same as a regular item.
The pre-cat fix for Item Status (https:/
It would be good to remove the catalogue link from the title across Evergreen for pre-cats to help prevent staff from accidentally ending up on the -1 pre-cat record and potentially editing it.
(I have submitted this as a separate bug from https:/

I would argue that the catalog should also also go so far as to completely refuse to load the -1 record in the record details interface at all. It's not intended for use by staff; pre-cat items are intended to be transferred to "real" records if they're kept. If you do load it in the client it will try to load every single non-deleted pre-cat call number and item in the entire system in a large fleshed api call that can potentially cause a single pcrud backend to easily use over a GB of ram (depends on system size, of course) if it's able to complete at all.
