I have a large number of webserver logs in elasticsearch and am using kibana 4 to explore them and look for different referral URLs. I occasionally want to click on the URL's. Right now I have to copy and paste them into another tab in my browser. It would be great if I could just click on them and have it open a new tab or at least in the current tab. I have made one other modification to the kibana code base so far and I'm starting to get the hang of it. I still unsure where everything is but I'll get there. Does anyone know if there is a way or a place that I can make the changes in the code, to allow for URL linking in the search results? ---

Are these URLs in their own field, or just in the data. ---

It is, the field is link.referral\_url: I read the elasticsearch field datatypes guide but I didn't see anything about URL's however, this seems like a kibana thing not an elasticsearch thing. ---
