Yes, I think that would be feasible, but I'm still losing the
motivation for making any of this hidden.
+1 I don't like hidden when it's
possible to do things in a comprehensible open way.

There are ways you can hack access, but it's an anti-pattern. With
the DTP plugins I'm working on the user will be able to configure a
DTP connection to the source DBMS and view the data through the same
UI that they will use to query Teiid. I think this is a pretty good
solution, and a nice new feature that we'll get for free.
I'm not sure, but I think I'm talking about the same thing. I didn't
mean to imply the use of the container DS, just to use DTP to preview
the data on the source DBMS via the same DTP connection that was
initially used during import, vs. using DTP to query the source model
via a VDB deployed to a Teiid.
We are talking about the same thing.
