Is there a way to put a link into a table on a story page?
(I've tried dropping the link into the field in Fantasy Grounds as well as copying the link in and xml editor, such as Notepad++)
A mocked up picture might help (see attached thumbnail).

I don't think so. You can do it in a rollable table, but not in a story table.

Effectively a story and a link are paragraph formats, and a paragraph can only be formatted as one type.

Hope I'm wrong, but... :(

No, as LE says a table is a paragraph format and a link is another type of paragraph format; so you can't have two such things in the same place.

I literally was just trying to do the same thing. I guess great minds do think alike, don't they.:D

Okay then, thanks guys.
I've had to resort to using "non breakable" spaces (ASCII 160) inside the links to get a pseudo table.
(Though the columns look like I used pinking shears to line up the columns.)
I couldn't find a "non breakable" tab and the regular tab (ASCII 9) appears to be ignored by the Fantasy Grounds desktop.

Yet another reason this software has proven to be a huge ripoff...

Just curious why you're just now posting in a three year old thread about something has only been brought up a handful of times over the last 12 years....
