    You need to reference the cell in the form <entity/alias>.<fieldname>, so it will be the following if you don't use an alias for the link-entity to lnkt_employee in your FetchXml. Or, if you use an alias for the link-entity to lnkt_employee , replace lnkt_employee with the alias

    <cell name='lnkt_employee.lnkt_codename' width='200' />
