How can a link in a table column trigger a separate PHP file to display detailed information in a new window?

To trigger a separate PHP file to display detailed information in a new window when a link in a table column is clicked, you can use JavaScript to open a new window and make an AJAX request to the PHP file to retrieve the detailed information. 

```php
// HTML table with a link in one of the columns
<table>
    <tr>
        <td>John Doe</td>
        <td><a href="#" class="details-link" data-id="1">View Details</a></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Jane Smith</td>
        <td><a href="#" class="details-link" data-id="2">View Details</a></td>
    </tr>
</table>

// JavaScript to handle click event and open new window
<script>
document.querySelectorAll('.details-link').forEach(link => {
    link.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        let id = this.getAttribute('data-id');
        let url = `details.php?id=${id}`;
        window.open(url, '_blank');
    });
});
</script>
```

In the PHP file `details.php`, you can retrieve the detailed information based on the ID passed in the URL parameter and display it in the new window.
