Hi, Mark

This could be done - but not easily. Essentially (if I understand
correctly) you'd want to have a tool that uses a non-conventional control
(the html table and row checkboxes) to allow the user to remove selected
rows.

One of the challenges is: how to create a new (smaller) dataset and still
maintain the chain of reproducibility. You wouldn't want to simply make a
new dataset appear (aka pasted text upload): that wouldn't trace back to
the original table.

I think one of the ways you might do this is:

   1. Create a tool that takes a list of row indices and then removes the
   indicated rows from a selected dataset (this would allow keeping the edits
   in the chain of reproducibility)
   2. Create a simple visualization that renders the original table and
   checkboxes and, when the user is done, calls the tool in (1) via the API
   with the selected row indices.

Like I said - not easy, but that's my idea for it.

Alternately:

   - There may already be a way to select the rows visually using one of
   the more sophisticated tool inputs (someone else will have to speak on that)
   - I believe someone else is working on a table editor - so you may be
   able to wait it out
