I've tried this solution for document library and it is not working for me.
<ViewFields><br/>
<FieldRef Name="Attachments"/><br/>
<FieldRef Name="LinkTitle"/><br/>
<FieldRef Name="linkThisColumn" ListItemMenu="TRUE" LinkToItemAllowed="Required" linkToItem="TRUE"/><br/>
<FieldRef Name="data_x0020_column"/><br/>
<FieldRef Name="Another_x0020_column"/><br/>
FYI: I am trying to achieve this in modern SharePoint site using SharePoint Designer 2013
