This is what Michael H was trying to get across in
help-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org: Don't quote the things
inside the list.

(setq tabulated-list-entries 
      '((1 ["Something"
            ("Button"
             action (lambda (b) (message "Hello"))
             font-lock-face link 
             follow-link t)])))

The doc string tells you that a DESC has a label:
in your case "Something" and properties and their
values.  Nothing is evaluating any of those things,
since they are in your quoted list ((1...)).
