Table: add row click event

[leosole-trimble]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for duplicate or closed feature requests
• I have read the Modus style guidelines

Proposal

Emit a row click event when the user clicks a row (if the cell clicked is not editable)

Motivation and context

We need a way to direct the user to a detail page when clicking the row. Right now this is only possible through the icons at the end of the row, and our designers would like to have the click in the whole row, so we wouldn't need the extra column.

@leosole-trimble Can you provide your Motivation and context so we can better ensure that any changes we make to support this event meet your needs?

Did you need any visual indication that a row has been focused after the click, or expecting any other visual indications? You mention that it won't fire the event if the cell is editable, but what if some other cells are?

[leosole-trimble]

@cjwinsor sure.
We do not need visual indicators after the click. Since there's already an option for highlighting the row on hover, an option to change the cursor to a pointer would be enough (not sure if it's already possible).
Our use case do not use editable cells, I just mentioned it because it could cause issues in other possible uses.

I thought of just emitting the click if the cell clicked is not editable
