OctoberCMS How to Preview

Question

I have a controller that implements Backend\Behaviors\FormController and Backend\Behaviors\ListController. I'm able to update or delete selected records from the list (delete by clicking the delete button and update by double click), however, I can't find a way to add preview link to the list and I can't find that mentioned in the documentation.

I'm able to preview any records if I enter the preview link manually in the URL bar. e.g.

http://my-project.dev/administration-backend/walid/my-plugin/model/preview/1

I just want to add the above preview link next to each record in the list.

Based on the comments above, the only way to do it is by list partials:

You should define custom list column, quoting OctoberCMS documentation:

Partial

partial - renders a partial, the path value can refer to a partial view file otherwise the column name is used as the partial name. Inside the partial these variables are available: $value is the default cell value, $record is the model used for the cell and $column is the configured class object Backend\Classes\ListColumn.

content:
    type: partial
    path: ~/plugins/acme/blog/models/comments/_content_column.htm
