Looks like you can post links to files the user can download. Files can be spreadsheets or PDF’s which can have html links in them. Here’s a wild idea: Substack supports LaTeX blocks. It might be possible to use LaTeX to build a table with links.

Tried pasting a LaTex href into a Latex block. Got "Failed to render Latex Expression. No LaTex expression" Looks like they've implemented only the equation environment, and probably converted the equation to a bitmap.

That's too bad. Like I said it was a wild idea. The Substack support page has a "Need more help?" button. Are you familiar with Datawrapper? It's new to me but it's supported by Substack and can create charts & tables. Maybe this is what you want: https://academy.datawrapper.de/article/231-how-to-insert-links.

Substack tags might be another, simpler way to go. Here's an example I found: https://muse2muse.substack.com.

I object! You have no posts deserving of a D. Keep up the excellent work.
