Welcome to our community! 😃 You could do that with a markdown box relatively simply. ---

@warkolm I checked the markdown box. I can now provide the links to different dashboards, but I am not getting how to link that with data-table. My initial thought was to have a context-menu having different links in data-table. But i found that it's not possible right now. So I am looking for an alternative. Please suggest. Thanks ---

If I understand it right, this could be a help. For string fields in an index pattern, you can format them as URL, which makes this field a link eg. to another dashboard. I've added a screenshot with an example I am using. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/5/45572a76bd4e2a1313af2e9ac55ebcb50a2529c6.png) ---

This is specific to a cell right?? What I want when I go to the next dashboard, I should have the filters based on the selected row data applied on that dashboard. Suppose I have a table with three columns - id, name and size. When i will select a row, then the data on the next dashboard should be based on the selected row's fields. ---

Yes, this is to a specific cell. If you want to drilldown the way you describe, this functionality was introduced in version 7.8. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/drilldowns.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/drilldowns.html) ---

Thanks for your help @norgro2601. Can you also help me with the calendar issue: > [@Calendar filter in Kibana](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/calendar-filter-in-kibana/240468/4): > > You mean you are embedding the visualisations? Thanks in advance!! ---

If the functionality coming with the "Share" options in a dashboard are not what you're looking for, I unfortunately have no other idea regarding your calendar issue. ---

I want to have this filter in my shared dashboard, so that user can change the date range. But I found that its not possible right now. Can you please confirm? I know that we can create plugins also. Shall I proceed in that direction? ---

hi, This drill down will only take the selected cell as filter. I want that to take the entire row as filter. Is that possible? ---
