Hello group.
I was wondering if it was technically possible to invoke a separate buffer
to edit a table in org mode.
My working scenario is a table with several columns with limited width so
as to edit a buffer with org-startup-indented on. I would like to achieve
something like what is done with source blocks: upon invoking a command,
the table would open in a separate buffer, with indent (i.e. visual
line-wrapping) option off and that ignores column width limits.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Is there another way to go about this problem?
Thanks.

Not in the way that you describe. As a workaround you could
temporarily remove the narrowing cookies <10>. Take care of not
breaking a TBLFM when moving a whole row with all cookies out of the
table, in this case e. g. keep an empty row.

There is "C-u C-u C-c `" (`org-table-edit-field') to fully view and
optionally edit field by field one field at a time in a separate
window described in (info "(org) Built-in table editor").
