What do you mean by tab in this context?

@Marius_Dragomir Thanks for your reply.  
I am using **Kibana Markdown Widget** to link multiple dashboards. I was able to link the dashboards and navigate through different dashboards. But, I would like to highlight the current Dashboard link in the Markdown Widget. Is there any way I can do this?  
Thanks in advance.

There is no way to do this from Kibana as the Widget visualization isn't aware of what dashboard you're in. But, you can just create a version of that Widget visualization for each dashboard (just copy the navigation one multiple times) and then change the URL for the dashboard that that widget will be on to Simple text or something like that. This way you'll know on what dashboard you are on from the one that isn't a URL.

Thanks for the prompt response. Appreciate it.  
Yes, as you suggested, creating separate widgets would do for my use-case.  
But, is there any way I can style these links? Like how we do it using CSS.

Thank You
