From a low vision user perspective I would not want the details at the far right as it is likely to be off the edge of the screen or missed when content is enlarged.

aria-describedby could be used to associate a more complete name with the link.

It is a shame that assistive technology does not correctly support row headers in other columns other than the first as this is a reasonable approach if it were supported.
