Yes you can do that with an action if you select the option called “Prominence” as “Display inline” and you attach it to your column. If you don’t want to show the icon, you can deselect that icon from your action’s definition. Then it will trigger that action when you click the attached column’s value.

May I ask what do you mean by “centered on the text”?

Hi @julianp
You will want to change the column to which the action is attached:

create a virtual column, let’s call it “VC_Blank”
-
set its expression formula as “” (double quote)
-
set its position where you wish it in the table view
-
attach the system action to this blank column
