@prettysunshinez yes for HTML button you would need to code the drill down URL in JS. There is an alternative where you can display a table cell as button and confugure drilldown for table cell using SimpleXML.
Refer to one of my recent answer for above of using table cell like button which allows drilldown through SimpleXML approach: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/779524/can-an-html-button-with-value-be-done-without-usin-1.html#answer-779995

Same question also has another answer by Splunkers which will give you steps to code html button click handler using Simple XML JS extension.

Thank you...
having table cell as button and having the drilldown properties set to them works.
But would want to know if we can make "hide details" button get displayed only after clicking the "show details" button pls..

Thanks in advance.

Making elements conditional uses the

 <xxx depends="$token$">

where xxx can generally be one of the XML elements in your dashboard. You can use this on html panels too, so I have often used buttons in with depends=. Then when a button is pressed, it sets/clears tokens as necessary.

See the Splunk dashboard examples app, which has some very simple guidelines on how to do just what you want - and it's quite simple. See the example called "Custom Token Links".

@prettysunshinez please refer to another answer of mine which has discussion on creating a link switcher which toggles on click.

I made a Dashboard with drilldownbuttons without using HTML nor JS.
Note that its most likely not best practice but it works. ^^
I made a Lookup CSV with shortage and text
( example: shortage=showD, text=Show Details )
and use a searchmacro to get the lookup data
( searchmacro: inputlookup dashboardhelper | search shortage="$short$" | table text ).
I can simply insert a SingleValue to my Dashboard with the search: | `dashboardhelper(showD)`
and can set, unset tokens or do other Drilldown actions in the SingleValue.
