This PR adds descriptions to the links in table.csv.

As a result, the links in the documentation will not show up as "External documantation" anymore; but as meaningful descriptions of where the link is pointing to.

(Generative AI was used to generate the link descriptions.)

Thanks so much for the detailed review, @kosabogi! I’ve fixed the typos you caught and rewrote the link descriptions to ensure they fit within the strict 33-character limit to avoid the truncation @leemthompo pointed out.

You are absolutely right about using consistent patterns. It was a bit tricky to apply them strictly given the tight character limit, but I did my best to establish a fallback hierarchy to keep things as consistent as possible. Here is what I used:

  • “Learn more about [X]” (when X is ≤13 characters)
  • “More about [X]” (when it fits within 33 characters)
  • “About [X]” (for the tightest limits)
  • “Creating or updating [object]” (for create/update actions, e.g., alias, lifecycle policy, GeoIP database)

Let me know what you think of the updated texts!
