Hi,

I'm using a scripted field formatted as a url to display some images. This works surprisingly well except outside of discovery the only visualization I seem to be able to use with this field is the table visualization.

It works but it is not the prettiest because of all the additional space the table viz takes up such as the export option at the button which doesn't really do anything for url formatted fields.

I tried using the markdown visualization but there doesn't appear to be a way to have that visualization display a elastic field.

What would the best visualization for this be? I can't simply add the full url to for example the markdown because I want the url to be generated dynamically based on a filter applied to my dashboard.
