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
Create a text or metric element in your canvas panel
In the Editor, select a field for your metric value
In the Overrides tab (in the panel editor) create an override for fields with name and click the + add override property button.
Select Datalinks > Datalinks from the list
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
In the panel editor for the canvas panel, go to the transform tab
Click + Add Transformation and select Add field from calculation
Choose Reduce Row from the dropdown and click on the field name that you want to use for the element
Select All Values from the Calculation drop down
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
