In Bases, allow to show an icon with a link to the file instead of the file name

Use case or problem

In the bases table, you somehow want a link to the note but your notes’ names take too much real state in the table.

Proposed solution

In the properties pane inside the base, add a new option called “File Link as Icon”.

Current workaround (optional)

Resize the File Name column to as thin as possible.

Related feature requests (optional)

Mature solutions like SharePoint allow you to select almost any property as the link to the original file. For example we could use an icon or image that is specified in a note’s property for the link. You could also make the note type (file extension) as the link to the file itself.

This is possible already using formulas.

Thank you so much! I’ve just found it!
Here is an example of using formulas for this purpose:
link(file.asLink(),icon(“receipt”))
