Hidden path field in views can't be accessed in twig

I have a path field in a view which I have hidden and I want to access the link in my custom views-view-fields--[views-name]--[display-type].html.twig

For this I use:
<a href="{{ fields.path.content|render|striptags|trim }}">

The problem is that the link is only inserted if the path field is not hidden. Otherwise the output of the variable is empty.

    I'd say this is by design, the field is hidden, which in Views lingo means it shouldn't be rendered, so it's not passed on to the rendering layer.

    If you feel that this is something that is needed we could reopen this as a feature request, but not sure this would fit the 80% case.

    Uh, this is six years ago and I absolutely don't remember why I needed this πŸ˜…, but I suppose I managed to solve it some other way. But thank you for asking!

    Anyway, a hidden field can be embedded in other fields or used for grouping etc. so it is still available for other actions, so I think then it should also be accessible in twig.
