Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a table for performing audits. I track the findings of the audit in the table and then export the data at the end to generate a report.
One of the fields is an images field (column type link). Currently, I have to go back through the each finding an add a link to the images afterwards. It'd be super helpful if could do a direct upload from the row form.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow the native file browser to be triggered and upload a file directly through the tables app.

Research direction
Start by locating the row form and the implementation for link-type columns in the tables app, then trace how file selection and uploads are handled. The work is done when a user can choose a local file from the row form for an images link column and the resulting link is saved with the row.
