Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

As far as I am aware, there is no current way for our Plugin to add a hyperlink as part of a Column Header.
Did you try perhaps to create a 'standard header name' as the 'origin Header' and to try to create a hyperlink as the "Displayed Header name" in the Column settings?
I will check with our QA Team if we have any kind of a workaround like that, but let me know if you also try in the meantime.
We have confirmation from our QA Team. They did additional tests to be sure, and at the moment, I am truly sorry to disappoint you, but we don't have any built-in way to have any link in the Headers.
When our Headers of columns are clicked, that is used for sorting - it can not currently be used for adding links in the Headers of columns.
You can suggest it to our developers, though - they will do their best to make a solution in the future.
to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.
You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;
and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,
We understand how to add hyperlinks to data within columns, but we have not figured out how to hyperlink the actual column headings.
We want to hyperlink only the column heading, not the column row content. The header link provides a link to a column descriptor.
Or is there a workaround? This is a time sensitive request. Thank you.

If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,
you can check out our available hooks for Developers on this documentation and see if you can find any hook that might help.
Please be advised that custom solutions with hooks are not included in our support.
You can also research resources such as Stack Overflow to see if any other user perhaps found a workaround.
( We do like to give examples for certain solutions, but for this use-case, we, unfortunately, don't have anything yet)
At the moment, you can only add hyperlinks (any links) in the Headers for our Simple Table type.
For any other table type, there is no way right now to achieve it.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.
Thank you.
