Multi-object field add support to display related objects and fields

Proposed functionality

Render multi-object field into a tabular view and add support to select related objects to display in rendered table.

Use case

For example I am creating a custom object that references interfaces and adding mutli-object "interfaces" field to it, when object created and interfaces added into it object view displaying only interfaces and not devices they belong to, which makes it difficult to distinguish what interfaces belong where.

This s a proposal to extend field definition with dropdown option to chose related object fields to display, for example, once interface is selected as related multi-object, form dropdown will be populated with interface fields such as "device, mtu, speed, description, vrf etc", giving user an option to select what fields to display in web UI.

This is how it is displayed now:

This can likely be accomplished by embedding a dynamic table for the objects being referenced. (In the above example, this would be the InterfaceTable.)
