## Entity Detail Pages & REF Column

Every entity table in the dashboard includes a **REF** column (leftmost) that shows
the 1-based row number for the current view. Clicking the REF number copies a
deep-link to the clipboard in the format `/data/<recordtype>/<id>`. Double-clicking
opens that link in a new tab.

The deep-link target is an entity detail page that renders all fields of the record
in a key-value layout. Each field key is decorated with a `<help-tip>` that shows a
one-sentence description of the field and a "Learn more" link to the relevant
documentation section.

Currently implemented record types:

| Record type | URL pattern | Source endpoint |
|-------------|-------------|-----------------|
| `token-events` | `/token-events/<id>` | `GET /token-events/{id}` |

Further record types (repos, workstreams, tasks) will be added in subsequent workplans.
