Hi, Need to show popup in the elastic dashboard while clicking on any link/button. While clicking on link/button we need to call one external api to show the information in the popup. Is any feature available in elastic dashboard related to my requirement? ---

Have a look at [Make dashboards interactive | Kibana Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/drilldowns.html) ---

I think the link I shared gives some ideas, no? In case you missed it: [Customize interactions with drilldowns | Kibana Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/create-drilldowns.html) > - **URL** — Navigates you from a dashboard to an external website. For example, a website with the specific host name as a parameter. ---

Hi dadoonet, Thanks for your reply. The link you shared is not relevant to my requirement, no need of opening external website from elk , I need to call one python api from elk dashboard itself and need to show that api response in the popup/dialog box. ---

> no need of opening external website from elk and > I need to call one python api from elk dashboard itself and need to show that api response in the popup/dialog box sounds like contradictory to me. The first says that you don't want to open a popup box. The second says that you want to display results in the opened popup box. So I don't know what you are looking for. ---

Hi dadoonet, You misunderstood my requirement. What i meant in my initial comment is - - I want a popup. - I want to show api response in that popup. All this, I want to show on click of a button or hyperlink present in elk dashboard. ---
