Is it possible to change the default visualization from a histogram to a table?

I know in the advanced settings you can change the number of terms for the histogram but I want a different visualization preferable a table.

Right now I can alter the link that the button generates by changing histogram (x2) to table and that will give me what i want. It's a bit of a chore but it can be done.

I don't think there's a setting to change the default Lens visualization when coming from the `Visualize` button in Discover.

It would be great if you could file a [Feature Request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=Feature_request.md) in the Kibana Github repository explaining your use case and requirements.
