Hi,

We are big fans of the table examples from @tom and are currently using the first version

> **[Tables](https://observablehq.com/@tmcw/tables)**
>
> An Observable notebook by Tom MacWright.

to make tables with clickable rows using the formatter function (see clickable rows here [https://observablehq.com/@ismms-himc/covid-19-sars-cov-2-preprints-from-medrxiv-and-biorxiv](https://observablehq.com/@ismms-himc/covid-19-sars-cov-2-preprints-from-medrxiv-and-biorxiv)). However, the new version of tables

> **[Tables](https://observablehq.com/@tmcw/tables/2)**
>
> An Observable notebook by Tom MacWright.

has removed formatters in favor of HTML cells and I can’t figure out how to add click events to this table. Are we supposed to actually write out HTML for our table elements?
