+### Inline links
 
-Bars and sparklines are the only in-cell visualizations the table draws. To turn a
-column's values into clickable links, define [`links` on the
-dimension](/docs/data-modeling/dimensions#links) in the data model — they appear in
-the [cell menu](#cell-menu) rather than in the cell itself.
+A column renders its values as clickable links when the data model says so — links are
+declared in the semantic layer, not authored in the chart.
+
+There are two ways to get one:
+
+- **[`links`](/docs/data-modeling/dimensions#links) on the dimension.** The link marked
+  `primary` renders inline on the cell value. Every link on the dimension — primary or not
+  — stays available from the [cell menu](#cell-menu).
+- **[`format: link`](/reference/data-modeling/dimensions#format) on the dimension**, when the
+  value already *is* a URL. Use the object form to show a label instead of the raw URL.
+
+For a column whose dimension declares links, selecting the link button reveals a picker for
+which of the declared links renders inline (inert when the dimension declares only one).
+Clicking the link text opens it; clicking elsewhere in the cell selects it and opens the
+cell menu as usual.

+Display a numeric column as a **sparkline** — a mini trend chart in each cell that plots the measure across a time dimension. Select the **sparkline** button on the column's card in the **Columns** section of the **Style** tab.
 
 A sparkline needs a time dimension to use as its horizontal axis. When you switch a column to **Sparkline** and pick its horizontal axis time dimension, that dimension is **removed from the table query** (if it was there): the table shows one row per remaining dimension, correctly aggregated, while the sparkline plots the measure's value across the time dimension. Values are always correct for any measure type, including counts of distinct values, averages, and custom measures.
 
 Removing the dimension is a one-way change — turning the sparkline back off doesn't restore it to the query. Add it again yourself if you want it back.
 
 <Note>
 
-The time dimensions on offer come from the **semantic view the query is built on**, not from the query itself — so **Sparkline** is disabled whenever that view has no time dimension, and equally for a query not built on a view at all, however many time dimensions the query selects.
