Drill through a table row via a hyperlink rather than relying on hidden right click functionality

It is not possible to click on a table row and directly drill through to a destination. Instead, a user must right click on a row, select drill through, and then select the destination page. This is not ideal for 2 reasons

1. The user doesn't know that drill-through is even a possibility. There's nothing about the table that indicates you can drill through with right click.

2. Many drill-though steps that could be replaced by a single click.

In the event that there are multiple possible drill through targets, existing functionality could continue to work, but a table or matrix could at least present a default drill though page via a hyperlink, which would result in a much better UX.

Would like to add to this. Could we have hyperlink actions type feature?Something like drillthrough://NAME/'table'[field]=value or similar.Ultimately, each row on a table/matrix/visual can drill through with one click.
