You have no gui for setting up this yet even while the file format
allows for such definitions.

Your use case is important, and by the way, it is similar to subforms
-- if we look at the way of interaction of the table view with the
parent form, it's similar to how subform interacts with the parent
form. Both things are on the TODO list, subforms first, then
sub-table-views.
