Is it possible to have "Go to Dashboard" drilldowns in Markdown?, sure we can manually place the link of the dashboard, but that won't keep the current applied filters the same way the drilldown in Lens does.

It is not possible. In the upcoming 8.11 there will be a new links panel (in tech preview) that helps generating a navigation panel between dashboards that carries over any filters

## Summary
This PR wraps up the work the @elastic/kibana-presentation team has … done to finish the MVP of [Phase 1](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/154354) of the `Link` embeddable, which enables users to add panels to their dashboard that contain links to other dashboards + external links - with respect to dashboard links, we give the author control over which pieces of context should be kept across dashboards so that things like filter pills, queries, and time ranges are not lost. This marks a huge improvement in dashboard navigation overall, which was previously only available via a variety of different workarounds including (but not limited to):
- Creating (essentially) a `noop` dashboard-to-dashboard drilldown
- Using markdown panels with hard Dashboard links, which are prone to break across updates
- Avoiding navigation all together, which resulted in large, slow-to-load dashboards.
As an added benefit, because these panels contain **references** to each dashboard rather than hard links, (1) unlike markdown links, they should not break after updates and (2) if a links panel is exported and imported into another space or instance, all of the dashboards it links to will also be imported.

### Note about this PR
- A majority of this work was done on a feature branch, with thorough reviews from @andreadelrio on behalf of @elastic/kibana-design along the way. Therefore, while feedback on the design is encouraged, any large concerns brought up in this PR should be filed as separate issues and addressed in follow-up PRs.
- This PR contains work for giving embeddables control over their own panel size / default positioning on the dashboard. This was especially important for the links panel, since we assume that (a) most links panels would be located somewhere near the top of the dashboard and (b) the horizontal links panel should have a different default "shape" (longer than it is tall) than the vertical panel (taller than it is long).
- This PR also contains work for caching dashboard saved objects, which makes navigation much more seamless.
