Visualizations with custom URLs

OpenSearch Dashboards
1

I’m looking into ways I can create visualizations (at last table visualizations) with custom clickable links that lead to other URLs. I’ve found a couple of ways to do this, but they each have their drawbacks:

  • Using TSVB with the Markdown visualization type (example on gist.github.com)
    • From what I can tell, there’s no way to access multiple variables using the {{#each _all}} syntax. This is the biggest dealbreaker here.
    • Markdown formatting is somewhat limited, although basic tables are possible.
  • Using the excellent osd_transform_vis plugin (example on gist.github.com, similar to this example on the project page)
    • Requires a third-party plugin.
    • The learning curve is a bit higher.

I’ll probably end up going with osd_transform_vis as it’s very customizable. But I’m wondering if there are any other native ways to accomplish this in Dashboards that I’m missing?
