Clickable links within an inline table on a form

Hello. 

I have a form that contains an inline table. Within that table exists several links that open a browser outside of the app to salesforce. The point of these links is to help a user collect information for the form itself.

I understand that normal clickable links on a form don't work correctly, and that I should "Create a show column with the type of URL, and the URL should be within the content field of the show column", as mentioned here (https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/AppSheet-Q-A/Is-there-a-way-to-have-URL-links-in-a-form-view...)

However, when I created a show column, that column is not displayed inside the inline form at all. 

Here is a screenshot of the virtual column, with a type of SHOW

Here is a screenshot of the view column order, displaying that field in the 3rd position, but when you look at the table, the show column is not displayed

For context, here is that SAME inline table NOT within a form (its in a normal detail view), and the show column is still not displaying

Here is what I see when I click the "view button"

Here is what I see when I click the ADD button (and the link is clickable)

In conclusion, I am seeing that a clickable link is possible in a form utilizing a show column with a type of URL. However, show columns are not displaying within inline tables. Am  I missing something? Is this on purpose, or is it a bug?
