Hello there,
As clarified in previous posts (2018-2020), redirection to external URLs is not enabled for Vega charts on Elastic Cloud for security reasons (vega.enableExternalUrls).
I would like to check if there is any update on this issue or if it is planned for future release?
I wish to redirect my clients to my business website in a new tab. This is already possible using LENS visualization (Drilldowns \> Go to URL \> Single click \> Open in new window), but not in Vega charts.
I'm running ELK 8.6.0.
Thank you in advance! (;

Hi @victorhmorales! I do see some previous discussions about this, but I don't know of existing plans for relaxing the constraint on cloud. Would you like to [open an issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?assignees=&labels=Team:Visualizations,Feature:Vega&template=Feature_request.md) for us? I think that would be the best way to get the discussion moving again.

Hello @drewdaemon, thks for your attention!
Okay, I'll open an issue because more than 90% of our dashboards use Vega charts and it's important for our company to redirect our clients to external URLs like it's already possible/done with LENS visualization (as described in the post)
Please let me know if there is another way to redirect in Vega like it's done in LENS 😄
Cheers

@victorhmorales yes, your use-case makes total sense! I'll look for that issue to come through and make sure it gets the team's attention.
