Table selection reset issue after PR #1470

[Schlendrick]

Current Behavior

After the changes introduced in PR #1470, the table selection is automatically cleared when new data arrives.

Expected Behavior

Users should have the option to retain their selection when new data updates the table (e. g. option in this ui-table node)

Steps To Reproduce

1. Populate the table with dynamic data (e.g., from multiple MQTT topics).
2. Select a row.
3. When the selected vehicle sends new data, the selection is lost.
