I didn't want to show the final solution - only the basic idea ;-)

Perhaps one could even couple the functionality which
does the actual work so that no identifiers are needed like

  Table::SetContentsButtons
  ( caption,
    contents,
    add_function_name, Label::AddButton(),
    edit_function_name, Label::EditButton(),
    delete_function_name, Label::DeleteButton(),
    whatever_else_function_name, _("Whatever else button label")
  );

When for example edit functionality does not make sense
for a particular Table one could have something like

  Table::SetContentsButtons
  ( caption,
    contents,
    add_function_name, Label::AddButton(),
    nil, nil,
    delete_function_name, Label::DeleteButton(),
    whatever_else_function_name, _("Whatever else button label")
  );

I guess the only parameter for the functions which makes sense
is the ID of the currently selected item in the Table.
Perhaps even better a map of the ID and the actual values
of the Table item so that the called function has the values
directly accessible.
Even for add_function_name the values of the currently selected
item make sense (e.g. to have them as preset values in a dialog
where a new item can be added).

Currently I don't know what to do regarding the return value
of the functions (e.g. how to handle errors).


Kind Regards
