Adust the as_table tag to render a pick link if appropriate The templates are adjusted to pass on a 'reference' value, which is the url_name of the view from which the entity should be picked. The as_table (and related) function(s) construct and then pass on this argument and enable takes_contex so that we have access to the context of the enclosing template. We only extract ReferenceProperties that end with '_link_id' since that is how all RP's are currently named. It is not possible to create a field with the same name as the RP, as GAE will try to interpret it's contents as the key of an entity before even calling any function we can override.
