How to get tableview item on hyperlink click - javafx

Question

I have following problem in javafx tableview, my table view is connected to certain model, and normal CRUD operations work with no issues, I also added a column which is not connected to ANY data model, and it just contains a hyperlink on which user can click, and he is prompted with a pop up.
All of this work, what it does not work is, when I click on hyperlink I want to also pass the row value, and normally it works like
tableview.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem();
But now it does not work, since i am not clicking directly a cell, but I click a hyperlink, and if I click first some row and then hyperlink, I get that row that I highlighted. Is there any way to select row when clicking hyperlink,so I don't have to first click row then hyperlink in same row.
public class RemoveCell<T> extends TableCell<T, Void> {
private final Hyperlink link;
private final Hyperlink link1;
private final HBox pane = new HBox();
public RemoveCell() {
link = new Hyperlink("Remove");
link1 = new Hyperlink("Edit");
pane.getChildren().addAll(link,link1);
link1.setOnAction(evt -> {
//lagerRet();
if(tableView.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem()!=null) {
System.out.println("not null");
}
else {
System.out.println("null");
}
// remove row item from tableview
// ap.getChildren().removeAll();
//ap.getChildren().setAll(mcon.loadParent(FxmlView.CHART));
PopOver popsy = new PopOver();
try {
popsy.setContentNode(control.loadUni(FxmlView.POP));
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
//popsy.setContentNode(panemain);
popsy.headerAlwaysVisibleProperty().set(true);;
popsy.show(link);
});
link.setOnAction(evt -> {
// remove row item from tableview
System.out.println("a quick test");
});
}
#Override
protected void updateItem(Void item, boolean empty) {
super.updateItem(item, empty);
setGraphic(empty ? null : pane );
//setGraphic(empty ? null : link1 );
}
}
and lastly this how I populate column
testColumn.setCellFactory(tc -> new RemoveCell<>());

It's possible to access the row item via TableRow containing the TableCell.
T item = getTableRow().getItem();
It's also possible to get the index in TableView.items using TableCell.getIndex which allows for removal without searching for the item in the list first.
int itemIndex = getIndex();
getTableView().getItems().remove(itemIndex);
