How to use popover in combination with datatable with clicka

Expected behavior Clicking on a popover within a datatable with clickable rows should show the popover.

Actual behavior I have a datatable with clickable rows. When clicking on the row, the user is redirected to another page. Within the row there is also a popover. In line with the documentation I implemented the stopPropagation to block the redirect when clicking on the popover. However, the popover itself does not show.

Somewhat simplified, but this is the code:

<div id="active-projects-datatable"> </div>
<script>
    data = {
        columns: [
            { label: 'Name', field: 'name', },
            { label: 'Status', field: 'status',},
        ],
        rows: [
            {
                name: "Test!",
                status: [],
                url: "/home"
            }].map((row) => {
                if(row.status.length!=0){
                    status_button = `
                    <a
                    tabindex="0"
                    class="btn btn-danger"
                    role="button"
                    data-mdb-toggle="popover"
                    data-mdb-trigger="focus"
                    title="Error"
                    data-mdb-content="Oh no! Something went wrong."
                    >Error</a
                    >`

                }else{
                    status_button = `
                    <a
                    tabindex="0"
                    class="btn btn-success"
                    role="button"
                    data-mdb-toggle="popover"
                    data-mdb-trigger="focus"
                    title="Good"
                    data-mdb-content="All good!"
                    >Good</a
                    >`
                }
                return {
                ...row,
                status:  status_button};
            })
        };

        const tableDiv = document.getElementById('active-projects-datatable');
        // Add row clickable functionality
        tableDiv.addEventListener('rowClick.mdb.datatable', (e) => {
            window.location = data.rows[e.index].url;
        });
        // Make sure the buttons in a row are still clickable
        tableDiv.addEventListener('render.mdb.datatable', () => {
            Array.from(tableDiv.getElementsByClassName(`btn`)).forEach((button) => {
                button.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
                    e.stopPropagation();
                });
            });
        });
        // Create datatable
        table = new datatable(tableDiv , data, {
            sm: false,
            hover: true,
            clickableRows: true});
</script>
