We added the IP feature to our wish list, but do not have a release date for it.
We're not sure what you mean by this though: "it would be nice if instead of having to then type in the MAC address it was just hyper-linked like windows computers are". If a device connected to a switch was scanned as a separate asset (and its MAC address was detected during scanning), the switch page will automatically link to the asset page of the connected device. The 2 unlinked MACs in your screenshot simply don't have scanned assets associated with them, so there is nothing to link to. Note that these MACs aren't listed in your search output either. If you haven't already, you should try scanning the devices as separate assets, e.g. with IP Address Range Scanning.
