I'd like to avoid custom code if possible for a situation where I want to show an SVG in a list view that folds two numbers together: a percent complete and a number of days. That is the second of these columns, where the permutation of percentages and days is so high that the SVG really needs creating on the fly:
The Custom Data Type mechanism of lightning-datatable lets me do that if I write my own table LWC because a column type can be mapped to a component that renders the column cells.
But before I resort to such custom code, I would like to confirm that there is no way to e.g. introduce a field in the data model that can surface such an SVG. And that there is no other strategy to achieve this.
