Is there a way to create a field that has more than 1 link to another resource. Can I create (and format) a string that holds 2 urls. E.g. `"Goto <this url> or <another url>"`

`<this url> can be selected to open the url.`  
`<another url> can be selected to open another url.`

At this moment I can only create a runtime script that will be URL formatted to link to 1 page.

I'd use the Url formatter to turn a value into a url - [Manage data views | Kibana Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/managing-data-views.html#string-field-formatters)

If you need to do that more than once, I'd use a field alias or runtime field to duplicate the value of a field. A field alias will be a bit more efficient.

Maybe it is important to mention that I would like to use that field in a table view. So there would be a column in the table that shows a string in which there are 2 words with hyperlinks to other pages.

I will try the enhanced table plugin.

The documentation mentions this feature:

- Template can encode a value to render it as a URL parameter (ex: `<a href="my-dashboard?param={{{encodeURIComponent value}}}">{{value}}</a>`)
