Hi Team,

I Have created a drill down url for a field under the data view in Kibana,

When I create a table visualization using ES|QL. The field value is not showing as hyper link whereas if created the table visualization using lens then i am able to see the hyperlink.

Note: I have to use ES|QL query for data aggregations..

Could you please let me know if i can achieve the drill down using ES|QL

Thanks in Advance

Hello @ArielC

I believe below is the requirement which is open :

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/218502>
>
> \*\*Describe the feature:\*\*
> 
> Drill down features enabling context from ES|QL contr…ols to pass to next dashboard:
> - Go to URL URL drill down
> - Go to Dashboard drill down
> - Open in Discover
> 
> \*\*Describe a specific use case for the feature:\*\*
> 
> \*\*When\*\* I have a dashboard of ES|QL panels
> \*\*And\*\* I am using ES|QL controls
> \*\*I need\*\* to configure drill downs for my ES|QL panels
> \*\*And\*\* configure either URL, dashboard, or discover actions
> \*\*And\*\* carry control values into target dashboards where matching controls variables exist
> \*\*So I can\*\* integrate my ES|QL controls into advanced drill down workflows 
> 
> 
> \### Design
> 
> 
> \_Can see create drill down on ES|QL panels\_
> \*\*Given\*\* I have a source dashboard with an ES|QL panel with a \`?time\` variable in an ES|QL panel
> \*\*And\*\* I have a target dashboard with \`?time\` being used in an ES|QL panel as well
> \*\*When\*\* I edit the source dashboard
> \*\*And\*\* click the \`...\` option on the panel 
> \*\*Then\*\* I see "Create drill down option"
> 
> \_Can configure "Dashboard" as a target\_
> \*\*And When\*\* I select "Go to Dashboard"
> \*\*And\*\* I configure "target dashboard"
> \*\*Then\*\* I see the dashboard saved successfully
> 
> \_Drilling carries ES|QL control context when variables names match\_
> \*\*And When\*\* I save
> \*\*And\*\* I click the visualization to drill
> \*\*Then\*\* I arrive at the target dashboard and the \`?time\` control has been set to the same value as the source dashboard

Thanks!!
