[Feature]: Improve HTML representation for DynamicTable with references/links

Open h-mayorquin opened this issue 8 months ago • 0 comments

What would you like to see added to HDMF?

Currently, when printing a dynamic table, you get the Python string representation of the objects:

This output isn't very useful and takes up more space than necessary, which makes the dynamic table representation less effective than it could be.

Related to https://github.com/hdmf-dev/hdmf/issues/1260

What solution would you like?

This is less clear, in my view the simplest improvement would be just to print the name of the linked object with an indication that it is a link.

Thoughts?

Do you have any interest in helping implement the feature?

Yes.
