Hi. In my dicovery page of kibana i'm using url format field (kibana format) I want to that ref in field opend in modal window or something, not in new tab or current tab. I met kibana plugin develobment. The command  
`node script/generate_plugin.js -name portaudit -y` gives me folder plugin/portaudit with consist

```auto
plugins/portaudit/
├── common
│ └── index.ts
├── kibana.json
├── package.json
├── public
│ ├── application.tsx
│ ├── components
│ │ └── app.tsx
│ ├── index.scss
│ ├── index.ts
│ ├── plugin.ts
│ └── types.ts
├── README.md
├── server
│ ├── index.ts
│ ├── plugin.ts
│ ├── routes
│ │ └── index.ts
│ └── types.ts
├── translations
│ └── ja-JP.json
└── tsconfig.json

```

When I starting kibana I got an error like "Elastic did not load properly. Check the server output for more information." and i got 404 for link 9007199254740991/bundles/plugin/portaudit/1.0.0/portaudit.plugin.js  
Then I create folder and file

```auto
mkdir -p target/public
touch target/public/portaudit.plugin.js

```

The 404 turn to 200 and i got another error

```auto
Version: 7.15.1
Build: 9007199254740991
Error: Definition of plugin "portaudit" not found and may have failed to load.

```

How I can run my own plugin?  
I planned using jquery to get all elenents of `<a>` tag in discovery, set onclick function and open it with window.open method of js.  
Is in possible with kibana plugins? I relaly weak with React Vue os somethng. Maybe someone tells me how to deal with it correctly. Thanks.
