Adding Links to Data in Standard Page Tables

Expected Results

On a standard page, hyperlinks can be added to data in tables to improve user experience and facilitate data interaction. For example, in the webName column of a table, you can move the cursor to WEB A to view the corresponding link address in the lower left corner of the page. You can click the link address to see the page.
