[DOC] ColumnView not clickable link in doxygen

Describe the problems or issues found in the documentation
The return type of the column method ColumnView should be a link to the definition of the column_view class.

I believe the issue is that in table_view_base ColumnView is in the template type.
While in table_view its a type alias and most of the methods are inherited from the base.

Steps taken to verify documentation is incorrect
Not sure if there is a way in Doxygen to fix this.

The return type of the column method ColumnView should be a link to the definition of the column_view class.

The ColumnView here is a template type name that can represent either column_view or mutable_column_view and so making it link to just column_view would be incorrect and it is not possible to link to both.

Ahh OK that makes sense, any chance it could be a link to column_view_base then?
If not, OK to close.

I don't see how doxygen would do that with the given source code. Also, I don't agree that this should link to column_view_base since ColumnView would not be strictly that type.

The doxygen here does look poorly formed so I'm inclined to clean it up and add a comment that ColumnView is expected to be either a column_view or a mutable_column_view.
