Is it possible to automate drawing the arrows from one table cell to another, using cell references instead of manually drawing them?

          Matrix is not really designed to draw a table, so drawing border lines is a bit tricky.

          begin{tikzpicture}

          foreach i in {1,...,6}
          draw ($(x-1-i.north west)+(-.5em,.5em)$) -- ($(x-5-i.south west)+(-.5em,-.5em)$);

          The obligatory tikzmark and beamer-overlay-styles answer. It might be more useful if you use more features of table, which are harder to reproduce with a tikz matrix.

          • @Hany I understand. You could also use Torbjørn T.'s tikznode command. This answer is public and may help some who have a more complicated table with, say, right-aligned cells and so on to annotate their table. For your purposes Joule V.s nice answer does a great job (and has certain advantages over ordinary tables when it comes to other questions like fitting some nodes in an ellipse on the background).

          @JouleVJust one more request please. Can the matrix contain borders between elements so that it could look like a table with lines betwen cells

          The obligatory tikzmark and beamer-overlay-styles answer. It might be more useful if you use more features of table, which are harder to reproduce with a tikz matrix.

          • @Hany I understand. You could also use Torbjørn T.'s tikznode command. This answer is public and may help some who have a more complicated table with, say, right-aligned cells and so on to annotate their table. For your purposes Joule V.s nice answer does a great job (and has certain advantages over ordinary tables when it comes to other questions like fitting some nodes in an ellipse on the background).
