Is there anywhere where the drill down restrictions are documented? Is there any way around them?

So far I've found:

- They aren't available with DataTables
- They aren't available for Lens generated visualization

A means of selecting which filters to copy would be nice as well, especially when transitioning between dashboards based on different indexes.

A way of selecting which filters get created would be nice as well. If I have a chart showing global sales by country broken down by state, I'd like a drill down option to the country level, but I'm always getting filters for country and state created. Even though they've clicked on a state in a country bar, I want an option to just select the country..
