Sorry for the possible confusing title, but here is what I am trying to do:  
in my dashboard for DNS I have name of the domain and number of hits (ex: [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) - 100hits).  
When I click the (+) on Kibana next to "[elastic.co](http://elastic.co)" it adds the filter "domain:elastic.co", however I want the filter to be based on the "answer.IP" filed values in the same document.

Why/what I am trying:  
problem: when you apply a filter on a dashboard, if the other visualisations don't have that field, they all return empty.

- lets say we have 2 different types of documents in our Elasticsearch Connections and DNS.
- both these documents have a field called "IP".
- the DNS doc also has a field called domain name, which is more human readable then IP, example: domain [elastic.co](http://elastic.co), IP 123.123.123.123

In my Kibana I want to show the user, Domain name from the DNS docs, but when users filter based on a value on the screen, I want the filter to be the value of the IP and not the domain name.

- otherwise, since the CONNECTION docs/visuals don't have the "domain Name" field those show empty, thus I can't drill down.

real life example:  
Zeek Connection logs - have destination IP  
zeek DNS logs - have DNS answers.  
I want to show DNS QUESTION in kibana, but filter on the value of "DNS answers" as "destination IP".

hope it makes sense 🙂  
ps, I was not able to find this on my searches if I missed it please feel free to refer me to a link  
thanks in advance.

As far as I know, there's no such settings in kibana. My suggestion is to use an enrich  
processor pipeline or something to add domain fields to any index you need to filter.
