Currently, a heuristic based approach is used to work out whether raw query results should be considered as slices. Only then will a little link be generated in the ID column that the user can use to navigate to the slice on the timeline (see screenshot).
This heuristic is mysterious and confusing. It means that users are left struggling to work out which magic set of columns are required in their query before the UI will generate the links.
We should improve this, and while we're there we should also make the links work from the query page.
