Hello,

I am trying to display my string field in a row table as a link to external application, i am using URL format for string in index patterns, but when I click on the link "myLink" it's opening it in new window and adding in the link my server url ([kibana.mycompay.com/s/myDashboards/app/MyLink](http://kibana.mycompay.com/s/myDashboards/app/MyLink)).  
I want to keep only my string in the URL, is it possible ?

What does your external URL look like?  
I think you need to explicitly have `https://` in front so that it recognized as an absolute URL

I am trying to use data URI, something like data:text/html, hello world.
