Multiline Text Fields Append Sharepoint

Question
Is it possible in Sharepoint online to create or modify a list view, that instead of showing "View Entries" in multiple-line text column with append-only checked, will show all entries for that element, so user will not have to click it and open every element, every time he needs to read comments?
I only want to use Jquery/javascript
Solution
You can bind a field customzer to the append-only field: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/extensions/get-started/building-simple-field-customizer
Then, retrieve data from the version history with pnp and display it in the view:
pnp.sp.web.getList(listUrl)
.items
.getById(id)
.versions
.get()
.then(function(versions){
// combine all versions into a string and render it
});
