Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I need a quick way to jump to a specific table/view in an application, for example via a link list or button row below the application title.

It would be ok to create this manually in the application's description, but

  • The application description doesn't allow HTML/markdown yet, in contrast to the description of tables/views.
  • The application doesn't provide anchors/ids in the <h1> elements for the table/view headlines.
Describe the solution you'd like

Add a "navigation pane" to applications for navigating from the application header to the tables/views of the application.

Fallback:

  • Add stable anchors for the tables/views.
  • Allow HTML/markdown in the application description.
Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

Start at the application header and the table/view headline entry points to understand how applications render their contents and whether those headlines expose stable anchors. Compare the requested navigation pane with the fallback options of application-description formatting and anchors. Done means users can jump from an application header to each table or view reliably.
