I guess so.

This is my kind of thinking right now:

This should load my javascript library as an extended class of the 
underlying module (I will include some tests to limit the loading of it 
if it is not Detail or Edit view etc...)

But I can't get the override of the saveFieldValues() call to trigger. 
The above is basically how the Accounts_Detail_Js overrides the standard 
Vtiger_Detail_Js saveFieldValues function.

My idea being to have two override functions in here; one for 
Detail/Summary views and one for Edit View. If this kind of method can 
work then ultimately it should also be possible to deal with the Quick 
Create in a similar way too.
