The rendered table on the site does not look good, @gchaps are there any tricks we can do to improve the layout of the table? Otherwise I'm thinking maybe we should switch to a list to present this data. We could create three create three subs-sections under the "URL Template Variables" section:
- "Global variables"
- "Context variables"
- "Event variables"
Then, for example, these paragraphs:
could be moved under the "Event variables" sub-section.

I disagree that it looks not good. But I'd agree that it looks not great :D

| === Use drilldowns for dashboard actions |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This page duplicates content from other pages. I'd change it to focus on the actions. How to create the drilldown appears in the individual sections. Here is the structure that I recommend:
Use drilldowns for dashboard actions
Drilldowns, also known as custom actions, allow you to configure a workflow for analyzing and troubleshooting your data. For example, using a drilldown, you can navigate from one dashboard to another, taking the current time range, filters, and other parameters with you, so the context remains the same. You can continue your analysis from a new perspective.
Drilldowns are specific to the dashboard panel for which you create them—they are not shared across panels. A panel can have multiple drilldowns.
Drilldown actions
Drilldowns are user-configurable Kibana actions that are stored with the dashboard metadata.
Kibana provides the following types of actions:
| Dashboard drilldown | Navigate to a dashboard. |
|---|---|
| URL drilldown | Navigate to external or internal URL. |
Note: Some action types are paid commercial features, while others are free. For a comparison of the Elastic subscription levels, see the subscription page.
Code drilldowns
Third-party developers can create drilldowns. Refer to this example plugin to learn how to code drilldowns.

Updated as suggested. The only thing that gets left out in this case is general "ho to manage drilldown", but I guess this is fine.

@streamich, @gchaps, thanks for reviews. I worked through your suggestions |

Summary
Closes #69414
Also changes existing Drilldowns because of updates to the structure:
Before:
Existing drilldown docs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/drilldowns.html assumed that "Go to dashboard" is the only drilldown type available, but it isn't true with new "URL drilldown".
After:
