Describe the feature request

Adding support for simple syntax like bold, italic and links would help. Unsure about "heading" etc due to limited space for descriptions.

Background

Adding links to descriptions is not rendering nice.

Solution suggestions

Reuse the <Markdown> component in the rendering.

The biggest challenge seems to be to add it to the "search tables" because of the highlighter code. The highlighter only support "string" and not ReactElement.

Adding highlighter when it needs to span multiple Nodes does not seem super-intuitive.

I think we can do the highlight inside of the markdown component as a customer renderer.

After thinking a bit more on this I am not sure if it really makes sense to allow markdown in the descriptions when it is in table view. This will lead to a messy table that can be hard to read. The built-in description pop-over can still be rendered as markdown.

Instead the in-cell descriptions should be rendered as readable text.

Example input:

*some* text here [link](http://somewhere.com)

Example output:

some text here link
