Is there a better way to have buttons be in tables and not have the source code be elsewhere?

Is there a better way to have buttons be in tables and not have the source code be elsewhere?

For example:

---
project: VTE-BPA Paper
status: 🔄 Not-Started
priority: 🟡 Medium
tags:
  - vte-bpa-paper
created: 2025-06-27 11:36
time-completed: 
---

## Meta Data Buttons


| 📋 **Status**   | `BUTTON[not-started]` | `BUTTON[progress]` | `BUTTON[done]` | `BUTTON[archived]`   |
| --------------- | --------------------- | ------------------ | -------------- | -------------------- |
| 🎯 **Priority** | `BUTTON[low]`         | `BUTTON[medium]`   | `BUTTON[high]` | `BUTTON[ultra-high]` |

Markdown tables don't allow multi-line cells, so putting the entire button definition in the table is not possible.

If you reuse the buttons a lot across your notes, you might want to add them as button templates in the plugins settings tab.
