While a Challenge Checker will tell you that you qualify it doesn’t always provide the qualifying geocache(s). For some Challenge caches, requirements may be easily determined by clicking on a grid within a Table. The result would be a list of geocaches found within the grid. Ex: what are the caches I found on D5.0 /T3.5 Grid of the D/T Table.. The proposed feature would provide a list of geocaches that represent the number of geocaches within a specific grid on any Table. Thanks TheView

This is also missing in many verifiers, but it is probably too difficult to implement.
This was a feature on the old stats site itsnotaboutthenumbers.com. It was quite handy, and I miss the ability to see this so easily. Less of an issue now that we meet most fizzy/well rounded cached challenges, but it'd still be nice.

This would have to be solved per challenge checker script. It's not something the site itself can provide automatically.

So a grid within a Table cannot be made clickable within Profile Stats?
I am not a programmer so my questions may indicate my ignorance. To create grids within any Table, a program is written to find matches that meet the grid requirement. Then somehow it gets posted into a program that creates the Table. Could that process be reversed by making all grids clickable to yield the data within the grid?  There are Challenge caches that not only require that a cacher may qualify with data in a grid, but the data in the grid must also meet a certain date. Being able to list the cache data within a grid could save a lot of time investigating one’s records. TheView
I misunderstood you in the way that I interpreted it as you wanted it in the Challenge checkers.

By design we don't want links like that in the Profile stats, at least not for now. Though it would be reasonable (to us) with links from the DT Tool for example. Which would give the same effect.

In the future it could potentially be something for the Profile stats as well though.
