There would have to be code in Kibana that sends info to the parent page through post messaging. That isn't a built in feature, but there is a plugin that seems to offer that: [https://github.com/bondib/kibana-iframe-communicator-plugin](https://github.com/bondib/kibana-iframe-communicator-plugin)

See also [Kibana Iframe Communicator](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-iframe-communicator/83037)

Note that Elastic team members can not officially support or endorse 3rd party plugins. We do not review the code for security vulnerabilities or anything like that.
