I don't think so, not in that layout.

Use a view along with a CASE...END expression

I'm not aware of any changes. Is the problem when you have a single
text-field that takes up too much space? If so, I'd construct my view

CREATE VIEW my_view AS
SELECT a,b,c,substring(long_memo_field, 1, 80)
FROM ...
