On the Kibana Discover page, would it be possible to track the event of a user clicking the caret and expanding the row of data that shows the Table/JSON tab? By tracking I mean, for e.g., to add a line into the kibana log that a row is expanded. I can accomplish this by modifying the kibana source code. but, can I do it without kibana source code change, for e.g. by creating my own kibana plugin?

Thanks for the help!

I think it would require some modification of Kibana itself. Can't think of a way you could accomplish this with a plugin.
