Should we have a dashboard linking section on a dashboard page that is not related to data modeling but is a dashboard exploration main page? |
Per review: the exhaustive cell-menu / keyboard-gesture writeup was more than the table chart doc needs. Keep the one user-facing point — data-model links surface in the cell menu alongside Copy value / Drill down — and drop the gesture list and the redundant trailing paragraph.
… (CUB-557) Per review: surface dashboard-to-dashboard linking on the dashboards exploration page (not only the data-modeling reference). Explains drill-in (`dashboard:`) and external (`url:`) cell links from an explorer's perspective, and points to the slug section + Dimensions → Links for authoring.

What
Documents the "Links between dashboards" feature (CUB-557; built on the merged links primitive #10852, in cube-core since v1.6.53) on both sides — authoring and consumption.
Authoring (data modeling)
docs/data-modeling/dimensions.mdx— new## Linkssection:linksis a list (a dimension can declare several), a per-link parameter table (urlordashboardper link), Icons (Tabler names), Setting a dashboard slug, and Behavior (per-row resolution via a synthetic<dim>___link_<name>_urldimension, null omission, drill-in vs external, equality filters, graceful unknown-slug handling). Notes the v1.6.53 requirement and that adashboard:params[].keyis a target-view member (a cube path auto-resolves to it).reference/data-modeling/dimensions.mdx—linksis a list;dashboardvalue is the target dashboard's slug (deployment-scoped); icon name format.Consumption (dashboard UI)
docs/explore-analyze/charts/chart-types/table.mdx— new## Cell menu: left-click selects + opens a menu (data-model links / drill-in / Copy value / Drill down); Cmd/Ctrl-click → new tab; Shift-click selects; right-click → native browser menu. (Also keeps the real## Inline barsStyle-tab control; the previously-documented per-column "Display as Link/Image" was removed — it isn't in the product.)docs/explore-analyze/dashboards/index.mdx—## Dashboard slug(stable, deployment-unique identifier set in the options sidebar; no required order between model and dashboard; renaming a referenced slug updates the model links).The modeling and table-cell-menu pages are cross-linked.
