Hidden tables are never seen by non-developer users. If you want 
the user to be able to see the invoice_lines tables directly, just stop
that table from being hidden.

Glom tries to guess what table should be opened when you click on a 
related record, by looking at the fields that are shown. It is usually
correct, but in newer Glom versions you can specify exactly what
relationship should be opened.
