Enable profiler drill-in/out links across table, schema, and column dashboards
Problem
The inspector renders table-level profile dashboards but provides no way to navigate between related views. An analyst viewing a table profile cannot click into a specific column's detail view, browse the parent schema's overview, or navigate back to the table from a column page. This forces analysts to manually construct URLs or re-run CLI commands to switch between granularity levels, breaking their flow and making it impractical to investigate related columns or understand a table's position within a schema. Drill-in/out navigation links across schema, table, and column dashboards are essential for the profiler to function as a coherent exploration tool rather than a collection of disconnected pages.
Context
- Analysts can drill in from table view to relevant schema and column dashboards.
- Analysts can drill out/back from column and schema views to parent contexts.
- Navigation preserves key context (project/source/schema/table) so users do not lose orientation.
Possible Solutions
Plan
- Define canonical link patterns and route params for schema/table/column profile pages.
- Implement drill-in links from table profile to schema and column dashboards.
- Implement drill-out/back links from column and schema dashboards to parent pages.
- Add tests to validate links resolve and preserve expected context.
- Validate end-to-end drill workflow in pilot environment with at least one real dataset.
Implementation Progress
- Existing table dashboard profile workflow
- Inspect profiler rendering + route contracts
