[Qgis-user] seeing coordinates in the data table

[Greg Troxel]

When I open the data table, I can't find a way to see the geometry
object, in either layer CRS or project CRS.

I do see a way to generate a layer which has the attributes as fields:

  https://docs.qgis.org/3.34/en/docs/user_manual/processing_algs/qgis/vectorgeometry.html#add-geometry-attributes

But I don't really  want to make a layer (which is a copy not a view).
I just want the data table to show me the geometry, because it is a
column and has a value.  (I don't mind that it is read only.)

Perhaps I should be using postgis and views to make a layer with extra
fields.  Any other advice?
