I would like native Org mode within Emacs to show me invisible table.
Is that possible?

Can you explain more? What do you mean by an invisible table?
Cheers,

There's no way in native Org to do that, and I've never seen any package or customization that would do that. I have no idea if it's possible somehow, but it's a great idea.

Thanks.
There is that invisible face, and of Org table has face then it could
be set invisible, but I think then whole table would disappear.
You can mark text and try M-x facemenu-set-invisible

Yes, why not?
If we make table fontification more granular in
`org-set-font-lock-defaults' and apply a separate face to | separators
in the table lines, that face could be set to `org-hide'.

I think that Emacs' invisible face is actually hiding lines, so that
one is not suitable, probably not suitable for hiding of tables'
lines. As only tables character boxes or lines are to be hidden but
not their content.
That would optimize layouts for 2 columns, 3 columns, or more, better
utilizing the available screen space for presenting data.
I use Org mode daily for my dashboard, but it's quite lengthy and not
wide, basically half of Emacs and more than half on the right side is
empty.
Lines of tables do not look as nice and I find it rather distracting
in cases where only the content is important.
