Create Smart Hyperlink Widget to Enable linking between OpenSearch Dashboards

[terrywbrady]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have a number of OpenSearch dashboards available. I would like to provide contextual navigation for users from one dashboard to another.

Describe the solution you'd like

Create a new visualization widget that generates hyperlinks to other dashboards.

• User can select the target dashboard for the hyperlink
• User can select the filters that will/will not be included in the hyperlink parameters
• User can set specific filter values that will be included in the hyperlink parameters
• User can select if the date range will be included in the hyperlink parameter OR the user can override the date range
• User can set the text for the hyperlink
• If a "series" is specified in the visualization, a list of hyperlinks may be generated for a set of TERM values

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have attempted to work around this with existing functionality.

• I have created a markdown dashboard that hyperlinks to other dashboards. Unfortunately, the hyperlinks are fragile and the behavior of filters is not intuitive when navigating between dashboards.
• I have attempted to create a Notebook to accomplish my goal. Currently, the Notebook requires end users to have some knowledge of query syntax in order to adjust a set of visualizations.

Hi @terrywbrady (nice meeting you at OpenSearchCon!)

Do you mind taking a look at #1308? I think the drilldown list visualization design mostly covers what you mention here, although we may need to expand the definition a bit to account for filtering options. If that design isn't sufficient for the use case you have in mind, please add some additional comments over there.

@joshuarrrr , I took a closer look at #1308 and I think it encompasses my ideas. I initially proposed this thinking it might be easier to implement, but I think #1308 describes a comprehensive solution.

Good to meet you as well. I enjoyed the conference quite a bit.
