to make the rows into links, override newItem (or whatever the name is - it
starts with new) that creates a new row. then you could add an onclick to
the row item, or even an ajaxeventbehavior("onclick") to do some ajax
behavior....
to make the column into a real link, you'll need to use a fragment since the
default html for a cell is just a span.
