Research direction

Start by locating the inline-editing implementation and the code that defines table views. Trace how clicks on cells and URLs enter edit mode, then identify where a per-view read-only option could be configured. Done means selected views do not enter inline editing while URLs remain clickable, with coverage for both behaviors.
