Hello! I am working on a Kibana dashboard (version 7.17) that contains links to two other dashboards. One of the links works, however the second linked dashboard exists in a separate space. Also, depending on the environment in which the dashboards are viewed (e.g. development, staging, and production environments might have different spaces for the same dashboard). How can I include the proper space for and URL for the linked dashboard that exists in a separate space?
I have one more question regarding a potential solution which I am unsure will work: can I monitor the current URL of the dashboard being rendered in the iFrame, and using state data belonging to the dashboard, alter the URL as necessary to correct the URL so that the link functions properly?

Other than [Drilldowns](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/drilldowns.html), there is no automation around linking between dashboards until this new effort started earlier this year (and it is still in the works)
>
>
> \## Outcome
> In phase one of the Dashboard Navigation project we should create a …usable Navigation system for dashboards that uses \*\*hard links\*\* and drilldown architecture to navigate on click, brings all context from the source dashboard to the destination dashboard, and is created and edited inline.

> \## After Phase 1
> With the above tasks completed, we will have a working & usable version of the Dashboard Navigation system. As a follow-up phase we could consider adding further features. Some ideas for these features are:
> \- Links that point to other content types (visualize, maps, etc)
> \- Nav link folders with curated sub-links
> \- Nav link folders that query a set of tags to populate links at runtime
> \- Optionally allow for dashboard links to show descriptions (possibly a hover ? icon)
