feature: Improve handling of whitespace in tables with links in their cells #175
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The issue arises when working with a table that contains links of varying size in the markdown code and the user elects to vertically align table columns in the code, such as here:
which then renders as:
This wastes a lot of screen space on white space and makes the table hard to read.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be preferable if the table rendered as such, with the padding stripped:
Describe alternatives you've considered
The user could elect to not vertically align the pipes of the columns. But this makes the markdown document more difficult to use for other people viewing it in plain text (such as coworkers not using this plugin).

I recognize that this issue can be somewhat mitigated by having shorter links and then deleting the whitespace and ---s causing a lot of the padding, but this issue would also exist for http hyperlinks which cannot necessarily be shortened in this way.
Thank you for this terrific plugin and I hope you have a wonderful day <3
