Hey @vpn-dev ! Thank you for the suggestion.

I also have been wanting this feature. I'm thinking of incorporating something like a template engine that can handle placeholders.

In the tables we are currently implementing, we have added a mechanism that allows dynamic height changes and, if necessary, page breaks, so I think it might be possible to realize this using that mechanism.

It might take some time, but I would be happy to discuss the specifications and how to implement it here.
