I have a table where I filter one document type based on terms where the field is client\_id. Now these client\_id are a number, but on another index I have another type of document the client name for this client\_id

So there is a link between these, am I somehow able to make that link in Kibana an show the name instead of the client\_id ?

Hope someone could point me in the right direction, since I don't like to nest the client\_name with the documentent type since client\_name could easy change and these docuements are logs which don't change and I don't want to reindex if the client\_name changes.
