Properties & Bases: Parse (Render) Markdown in text properties // Allow mixing text and links in string fields

Use case or problem

I’d like to replace dataview with bases. I render a simple table view with a row per file in a folder. The table has three columns: topic, file_name, tldr.

The tldr column is fed from a text property in the frontmatter of the file.
That column contains inline code: text encased between two backticks (`)
I’d like to see that column content rendered as code.

Proposed solution

I can see two possible ways, either run the render template on the text property or create a new column type code, that renders whatever is contained as code.

Incidentally this would also be able for math rendering
