Table grouping #204

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not necessarily a problem, but something I have seen mentioned, and yeah, I guess a "problem". I have also seen a script workaorund, but it uses the menu and I don't really like that idea.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to see a way to group tables. Typically this would be done by table variation, but like in the script repo, it could be a table theme that has different tables (a la Playboy). The table group would basically open a sub-wheel of those tables in the group with an "exit" or "up" choice to get out of the sub-wheel. Theoretically you could simply nest wheels and have infinites nesting (like folders in a file system), though that seems a bit silly.

Describe alternatives you've considered I looked at script options but I am not satisfied with what I have seen. Admittedly I have not looked at writing my own script, but I assume that since there is a script making some attempt to solve this that there must be a limitation to only being able to use the menu and not manipulate the wheel in any way. If I am mistaken please let me know.

Additional context 177 - mentions something similar Script - script attempt to combine multiple table versions using the menu
