Who can point me to proper documentation how the url filtering works in a link.

What I need is to apply a filter based on a value clicked.

Hi Jeroen, the URL field formatter will you interpolate the field's value anywhere into your URL, but unfortunately the way Kibana's dashboard URLs are generated contains enough complexity that it can't easily be represented as a template.

My ask is about they keywords in that url. Which ones are mandatory and their structure.  
In the link that I added it shows a cutoff link so I struggle to replicate the behavior and use the dashboard url to make a field={{value}} so we can use it in the several dashboards as clickable links.

I used the dashboard shared link copy but that link is huge and there must be a shorter version better to understand.
