The solution used in #2955 was to put an <a> without content, and to style it to cover the entire cell. The reason for putting it without content, and put the content after it, was that an HTML value, such as a form description on the Form Builder Summary page, could contain links, therefore nested <a>, and the browser would unnest those <a>.

I can easily restore the link taking the entirety of the cell, and I am not sure when it regressed.

But if I do this, the text within the cell is no longer selectable, for example for copy. For the Created/Modified, the text is not selected unless you start dragging from the outside, but you can right-click, and copy the text. I'd like to at least have the same thing for the other cells.

The solution for this would be filter out the HTML and remove <a> elements, but not their content. This should be ok as most values are not HTML.

The solution above implies that while we support links in form descriptions, we do not support showing and navigating from them when they are shown in the Form Builder Summary page. This probably never worked anyway.
