Hi @kant.gaurav,

what exactly do you want to configure about the dashboard addresses?

i have two situations that i am trying to implement,

1. right now in markdown, for any link we have to hard code dashboard's big address. is there any way we can give some variable and pass dashboard address on run time?
2. can we dynamically generate new markdown link in a markdown from the data we are processing?

The Time Series Visual Builder visualization type supports [generating markdown](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/_featured_visualizations.html#_markdown) based on query results:

Automatically generating dashboard links is something we are currently working on. You can track the progress at [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/12560](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/12560). We would appreciate any suggestions and use-case descriptions on that issue.
