Navigating links with keyboard navigation can be done by moving the cursor with arrow keys to the link and pressing Ctrl+Enter to open it. However, when the link you want to press is inside the result of a SLIQ, how are you supposed to do this without switching to the mouse? If you try to move the cursor to the link, it switches to editing the query instead. The same goes for widgets etc. Just wondering if there are any plans to address this?

Yeah, the keyboard support ends when you have embedded widgets, queries etc. It's not been top of mind for me to address it, but I see that this would be good to look at. Could you create a github issue for this?

Feel free to rename it
