After hitting a hyperlink can we bypass the username and password

In source code we give a link when we hit on it, it will take us to the url we have given.

My question is if that website asks for credentials can we bypass the credentials by storing them in source code if yes please give me the suggestions

It depends on the destination. If it allows it then you may be able to include the credentials in the URL. This is not secure, however, so not many web sites allow it in GET requests. Splunk dashboards only support GETs.

There's no way (that I know of) to do that in Simple XML. You can, however, convert your dashboard to HTML (be sure to save the original in Simple XML) and add your code to it.
