There should be no difference between Web Edition and the desktop app.
See appEvent binding below and non-interactive table column resizing

I'm testing a type of definition list in my schema.
The CSS is something like this:
definitionList {
display: table;
margin-left: 1ex;
margin-top: 1ex;
margin-bottom: 1ex;
}
definitionList > item {
display: table-row;
}
definitionList > item > term {
display: table-cell;
padding: 0.3ex;
width: 25%;
font-weight: bold;
}
definitionList > item > definition {
display: table-cell;
padding: 0.3ex;
width: 75%;
}
I noticed that in the web editor client, I can grab the border between term and definition and drag it about, which seems to be trying to interactively resize the columns,
For now, there is no way to prevent this from happening. If it's styled
as a table, XXE assumes that it's an actual semantic table and that the
user may want to resize its columns. This is clearly an oversight.
similar to the docbook tools for working with tables. It doesn't really work,
but it looks like it's resizing the columns.
Yes.
Is it possible then to add some command and configuration to make it work interactively. Probably need to add an attribute for the width also.
It's more complicated than this because there is no generic command
which, after a proper parameterization, would allow to resize the
columns of all kinds of tables. See below.
If it's possible, what do I need to do?
In theory, yes. Here's how it works.
I'll use DITA <simpletable> (because these are quite simple tables; see
https://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata02/os/complete/part2-tech-content/langRef/base/simpletable.html#simpletable
and
https://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata02/os/complete/part2-tech-content/langRef/attributes/simpletableAttributes.html)
as an example:
