FR - Add Viewable 'Metadata' to Tables

One of the things I use A LOT is the 'State Window' in Apps/Modules, especially the newer feature that shows 'metadata' type information like Controls, Controlled By, Updates and Depends On:

Could we get something similar for tables in the Retool DB? It wouldn't be the same information, but Controlled By or ('Used By' in this case (?)) would be really handy. could also add Linked To and Linked From to get a quick overview (instead of having to click each column, select settings, then check the table and column it references).

Since there isn't much space to put this, a button could be added to view it

I like this idea! We have something similar for other resources and there's definitely an opportunity to clarify how RetoolDB tables are being accessed across your org. One potential complication is the fact that those same tables can be accessed from outside of Retool. :thinking:

Regardless, I've documented this request internally and will let you know when there's been any movement!
