Hi @Elaak, Field formatters don't expose a `render` function of some kind that would be necessary to implement something like this in a clean way. You just return the HTML, it's not possible to attach event handlers to your HTML elements that would allow you to react to a click to do something like opening a popup. However you can work around by this by a global event handler and a data-attribute on your button. Then you can intercept all clicks to all buttons and trigger your action if the clicked element includes the data attribute. I answered a similar question here: [Run script inside hmtl of field formatter](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/run-script-inside-hmtl-of-field-formatter/205805) In your case the script wouldn't trigger an HTTP call, but render a react element using ReactDOM.render. Let me know whether that helps! --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/using-eui-inside-fieldformatter-plugin/214032)._
