TP: click on change log entry to view in its entirety

Current behavior:

When viewing the change log table page, e.g. https://tp.example.org/#!/change-logs, long messages are difficult to read, and you cannot click on the entry to open it up to view it in its entirety.

New behavior:

I'd like to be able to click on a change log entry in the table in order to "open it up" (e.g. modal or a new page) to be able to easily read the log message in its entirety.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions:

Go to change log table page, e.g. https://tp.example.org/#!/change-logs, and try clicking on an entry.

Anything else:

Personally, I don't really care if it opens a modal or a new page, I just want to be able to easily read long change log messages.

this is true of any cell whos contents are too long in the ag-grid column - impossible to read the entire contents. gets truncated with an ... and looks like you can only read via the onhover tooltip. maybe something that @shamrickus can add to his ag-grid component (#6031) or the next iteration of it?

FWIW this is trivial with modern Angular Material. Doesn't help current TP, though.

I added this to the TPv2 project so it doesn't get overlooked.

TPv2 is a ways out. I'm assuming this is low effort so probably worth doing.
