[Feature] withLinks() helper for columns

[tabacitu]

After the Fluent syntax is finished and merged for Columns, we should probably create a helper for automatically adding column links. Instead of having to define the path yourself, we should be able to determine that, if there's a CrudController for that entity.

// we should be able to do
CRUD::column('categories')->type('relationship')->withLinks();

// instead of
CRUD::column('categories')->type('relationship')->wrapper([
    'href' => function ($crud, $column, $entry, $related_key) {
        return backpack_url('category/'.$related_key.'/show');
    },
]);

This is one of the benefits of having the fluent syntax - that you can do stuff like that. Do you appreciate it now @pxpm ? See, there's finally the potential for something useful out of all the weeks of work on this! 😆

This just seems beautifull. Want me to have a look at the withLinks ?

HA! I knew I'd turn you around 😄

Yes please, not right now, better next week. I'm still polishing the fluent syntax. It's 95% complete, but I might just rewrite the whole thing so it's exactly the same for Fields, Columns, Filters, Buttons, Widgets. Right now the syntax is the same, but the implementations are pretty different - I played around to see which one works best.

If you want to play around with this, branch out from the fluent-syntax branch, and take a look at this example for a convenience method for fields.
