Is there a way to make Grafana pre-load the next dashboard before displaying it in a playlist? I’ve just started working with playlists and this bugs me a little bit. Each time it loads the next dashboard, you can see each panel render one by one. It doesn’t take very long, maybe 50ms per panel, but with a lot of panels it’s very noticeable. This behavior is expected when opening a dashboard in a regular webpage. But when it’s part of a playlist, I was hoping to have a smoother transition.

I’m using Grafana Cloud with Prometheus.
