Add the ability to create named cells or intervals to make it easier to access cells or range of cells in addition to reference the cells by indexes.

One way I think this could behave is

  • when right clicking a cell or a range, the menu could display a "name" option to name that cell/range
  • for python scripts, the cell/c could also receive a name or have an isolated function for that, same goes for the cells/getCells function
  • for formulas, the cell reference could support the range name in addition to the formula notation

Here are excel references as how they currently support this feature in their frontend

Thanks for creating this issue. We are actively thinking about implementing named ranges/tables. It will make it easier to move data around the grid too.

We could also support dynamic array references such as A1# which references the full array output of cell A1. See example
