Kibana feature : Allow users to display a string with newlines inside the datatable #76242

Description

@AditiKhalatkar

Describe the feature:
If the value of a field is stored as a string having newlines in Elasticsearch, the feature may enable the user to display the string which parses "\n" as a newline in the string. This feature would be specifically useful for someone who wants newlines in a datatable, however other visualizations may also benefit from this. Kindly consider.

Describe a specific use case for the feature:
For instance, there is a field like address, having value = "X Street \n Y Apt \n Z State", the user may want to represent this value inside the datatable as:

"X Street
Y Apt
Z State"
