This gist shows how you can manipulate and combine columns of the table plugin. Instead of showing the URIs directly, this gist checks whether the SPARQL response contains a projection variable with the corresponding label for that URI. If this is the case, that label is used as text for this URI link. E.g., a SPARQL result with projection variables ?car and ?carLabel (where ?car is a URI), will hide the ?carLabel column in the table, and will use the ?carLabel as text for the ?car hyperlink.
ps. This feature is recently added to YASR as well (see the 'mergeLabelsWithUris' setting), though slightly different: for this gist the cell content changes on hover
Good
