Description
Currently link buttons are deliberately hidden in tables, because they're too large and break the formatting:
In theory we could put the buttons at the end of the table, but some tables:
- Have tons of links (20+)
- Give links non-descriptive names like "Link", which means you have a gigantic list of 20 buttons all called "Link"
So it would be good to find a better solution.

Research direction
Start with src/main/java/org/quantumbadger/redreader/reddit/prepared/bodytext/BodyElementTableCell.java at the linked lines, where link buttons are hidden in table cells. Read the surrounding table and link-rendering code to understand the current behavior and constraints. Done means providing a better way to expose table links without the formatting and ambiguity problems described in the issue.
