🔦 Feature: Define data type of formula result

Please confirm if feature request does NOT exist already ?

• I confirm there is no existing issue for this

Describe the usecase for the feature

Formulas can have different data types as a result, for instance a URL (that users then might want to click on) or formatted text (that should be rendered appropriately), etc.

Suggested Solution

When creating a formula column, let users chose a target data type that will cause correct rendering and re-usability of the formula result. Alternatively, provide a formula function that lets users typecast.
