How can a Kibana user navigate from a dashboard element to the actual query (saved search)?  
The pencil icon get's you to the visualization and you can see (and unlink) the saved search but not click to actually open it.

Hi @cawoodm,

that is indeed an inconvenient limitation. I have created [an enhancement request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/15893) on your behalf. Please track the progress over on GitHub and feel free to add your comments to the issue. The more details about your use-case we have, the better.
