In Kibana 7.11 is it possible to make visualisations on a dashboard filter based on the current visible area of a map that's present on the dashboard?

I know that I can draw bounding boxes etc on the map in order to apply filters to the dashboard, but this is relatively clunky.

It is not possible to filter a dashboard based on the current visible area of the map. There is an open issue for this enhancement if you would like to comment there - [Option to filter Dashboard visualizations by geo bounds of an embedded Map · Issue #59751 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/59751)
