Currently the only way to do so would be to create 5 markdown visualizations (one for each dashboard) and format the link of the currently active dashboard in bold. Then you can put the right visualization on the right dashboard.

Of course the downside of this is that you have to make sure those visualizations stay in sync if you are adding or removing dashboards.
