I'm sorry, but we don't currently offer the features that you're requesting. If you think they would be valuable additions to Kibana, you can submit your issue [here.](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new)

If you would like to attempt to create this functionality for yourself, one path toward that would be to write a 'hack' plugin. The best way to get started with a plugin for kibana is to use the [Kibana Plugin Yeoman Generator.](https://www.npmjs.com/package/generator-kibana-plugin)
