Hello @nyuriks,  
I'm trying to create a Kibana filter when clicking an object in a Vega visual. I've found that the feature was released in 6.4 as per issue [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/17210](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/17210). We are currently using 6.5.4.

When I use the test code at [https://github.com/nyurik/kibana/commit/00e3f5a72d5461ccf89662662a3f12226cc93b08](https://github.com/nyurik/kibana/commit/00e3f5a72d5461ccf89662662a3f12226cc93b08), clicking the button does not produce the intended results of create a filter in the dashboard containing the test button. The code is copied verbatim. Is there something else required to make the sample code work?

Thanks in advance!

@nyuriks can you help here? I couldn't get the example to work either.
