It would be awesome if we could open the detail screen for multiple columns in a data grid where the columns are related elements.

1. Purchase Order (Main Table)
  1. Vendor (Related Table)
  2. Receiver (Related Table)
  3. Proposal (Related Table)

I see this being no different than a choice column where you can pick the value and the display value.

You kinda can if you use a button column type. I do this often with the table component.

Thanks @Robert_Petitto, this does seem to be an OK solution functionally, but graphically I would prefer it to be underlined like the typical selection / details rather than looking like a button. I do appreciate your help though and have implemented this for now!

I get what you mean. Might be able to use some CSS on that button type to remove the background color and padding so that way it looks like normal text
