TableColumn with url() results in description not selectable

I dont know about you, but we find it useful for our name column on our Users table to include their email address in the description() area. The problem is that when combined with url() on the column, it wraps the entire cell in anchors and now the description field is no longer selectable. Is there a simple solution for this? 
TextColumn::make('name')
    ->description(fn ($record) => $record->email)
    ->url(fn ($record) => route('property-managers.show', $record->property_manager_id)),
TextColumn::make('name')
    ->description(fn ($record) => $record->email)
    ->url(fn ($record) => route('property-managers.show', $record->property_manager_id)),
Solution:
Return an HtmlString for the description with an anchor link in it?

i figured since the whole cell is anchored that might not work since it would be nested, but i will give it a try. Glad to see you active again

Yea. Might need to disable row actions for it to work. Not 💯 sure.

@awcodes but its not a row action, its an actual on the column, but really just want it to apply to the name and not the description. I dont even need the email to be clickable as far as going to the email, but i do need the email to at least be selectable. Right now its not. @awcodes that actually worked though surprisingly. i can now click on the email address
