Is it possible to use search templates in Vega? E.g.
```auto
GET index/_search/template
{
"id": "searchTemplate",
"params": {
"word": "search terms",
"from": 0,
"size": 10
}
}
```
I couldn't find examples how to parametrize the `url` block in Vega.
Thanks!

I was not able to use search templates in Vega ☹
One possibility was to use `url: { %type%: url ... }`, but the request gets sent as `GET`, whereas search templates requests must be sent as `POST`.
There is a similar feature request (for `POST` support): [https://github.com/vega/vega/issues/2095](https://github.com/vega/vega/issues/2095), but it's not clear, when it will be implemented.
Does it make sense to open another feature request for supporting search templates when using `%type%: elasticsearch` requests?
Thanks!
