Is there a way to select row from a hidden table?

This is probably a simple & easy question, but I'm just trying to query from a table. It works when the table is shown but when I hide it, the query doesn't return results. This might be expected but just curious if I'm doing something wrong.

Hey @devyn! We currently don’t support all Table APIs when a table is hidden. We’ve opened an internal ticket to look into this further and I’ll keep you posted when we roll out a fix.

In the meantime, I wonder if we can come up with some sort of workaround for you. Would something like this work for you?
