Make admin table content filterable by column

[sirzooro]

I would like to modify Author column on post list - add link to user's profile. Now the only way is to add it to 1st column or custom column, and optionally move it later using JavaScript. Therefore I ask to add new actions for default columns, which will allow to do this.

It may be also beneficial to implement this as a general hook which will be called on all columns, including custom ones.

Actually, I think a filter would work better:

apply_filters( "list_table_{$screen}_{$column}", $content );

Looks that there is no interest here. I will prepare patch for this for WP 3.4.

This can be achieved by removing the default column and implementing your own column. Please re-open if you think we still need an action or filter here.
