I need to output link to referenced entity with a custom text like: "Details..." or "Read more..." but there is no such a formatter. I think its worth it to add one.

Ok, this patch extends "Label" formatter behavior allowing for custom text.

Suggestions are welcome. Also please review the part where custom text goes through t().

Code cleanup. (Warm greetings to Eclipse/PDT developers for the "smart" editor)

I was looking for a solution like this. This patch is working very well on my site. Comparing with the screenshot, I have only "Custom Text" box and not the other boxes ("Field Template" or "Label") - perhaps those boxes come from certain other modules which I don't use.

Thanks for testing this.
Sorry for the confusing screenshot, those forms fields come from Display Suite module.

Applied patch in #2 to 7.x-1.0 and it works great for me.

Thanks!

I think this would need to be ported to Drupal 8 core entityreference field to get any further attention?

It is possible to implement the patch in a custom module providing the formatter. I can throw that into a self-contained sandbox module if anyone is interested.
