Prerequisites

  • I have written a descriptive issue title
  • I have searched existing issues to ensure the feature has not already been requested

🚀 Feature Proposal

Add a panel to the table editor that opens when you click on a foreign key (FK) value.
The panel would show the referenced record(s) from the related table — similar to a peek view, but inline.

Proposed Behavior

  • Click any FK value → panel slides open below the current table
  • Panel displays the referenced record(s) from the target table
  • Main table stays visible and interactive
  • Clicking a different FK updates the panel content without closing/reopening

Motivation

I added a small prototype of this for my own workflow and found it very useful when quickly checking linked values (for example status enums, labels, metadata, etc.).

The inspiration came from DBeaver’s reference/dictionary-like panel, although this implementation would be simpler and more inline-focused.

Possible Benefits

  • Faster FK navigation
  • Less context switching
  • Easier inspection of related records
  • Improved table editing workflow
