Hello, Currently you can build a control through a ES|QL visualization ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/a/fa85595c89ba19905e92b473aaff3939a082c3cd.png) The above is showing when you do the dynamic, building the control based off es|ql query. Is there plans to be able to create a control just based of a es|ql query alone? Like I don't want to build it through a visualization, just click create control and the above pops up providing me a way to build a fitlered down control ---

Hey! I assume what you are looking for is [[ES|QL] Adds an ES|QL control option on the dashboard controls dropdown by stratoula · Pull Request #219495 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/219495) This will allow at 8.19 to create an ES|QL control from the dashboards dropdown and then you will be able to reuse them at your ES|QL visualizations ---
