Clickable links in Canvas panel elements

@markstokosa I found out how to do this!

Here are the steps to create a clickable data link in a canvas panel

Note: Inline editing must be turned off AND current support is for text/metric elements only

This process creates a data link tied to all elements that use the field name

  1. Create a text or metric element in your canvas panel
  2. In the Editor, select a field for your metric value
  3. In the Overrides tab (in the panel editor) create an override for fields with name and click the + add override property button.
  4. Select Datalinks > Datalinks from the list
  5. Click +Add link and add a description and URL for the data link

Workaround if you have multiple elements that reference the same field name

  1. In the panel editor for the canvas panel, go to the transform tab
  2. Click + Add Transformation and select Add field from calculation
  3. Choose Reduce Row from the dropdown and click on the field name that you want to use for the element
  4. Select All Values from the Calculation drop down
  5. Add an alias for the field name. This step will create a new and unique field that you can reference as the field name to create the element and field override described in the previous process.

I created a PR to add this information to our docs, so please let me know if you have feedback on the steps :slight_smile:
