    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    I’m afraid that this will not work like that. First, you do not need to use PHP to evaluate a Shortcode here, you could just use the Shortcode directly.
    But even then, this would not work, as you are now printing the HTML code for the table as the link target. That’s however not possible. A link can only go to a URL (e.g. a post or page), or a specific item on that page. Therefore, the Shortcode must be placed outside the link HTML code.

    To actually show/hide a table, you’ll need some sort of custom JavaScript code here, that listens to the clicks on the buttons and then shows the relevant table. I suggest to take a look at e.g. a tabs plugin or an accordion solution like https://tobias.baethge.com/2009/07/expandhide-accordion-feature-explained/ for this.

    Hi,

    sorry, I’m not aware of an existing and directly usable solution here.

    You could take a look at a tabs plugin or implement it yourself with the code from that link. If you want to use a dropdown, you will also have to use custom JavaScript code.
