Ahh my apologies @tgulgund  - I misunderstood what you were looking for.

Unfortunately embedding HTML directly in Dashboard Studio is not available/supported - only the limited Markdown code.

Hi @tgulgund 

Using dashboard studio you can create a link by using the Markdown object:

The following markdown is what was used in this example:

This is a link to [google](https://www.google.com)

If unfamiliar with markdown, essentially you put the text in square brackets followed by the URL in regular brackets.

Here is a full dashboard example:

{
    "title": "testing",
    "description": "",
    "inputs": {},
    "defaults": {
        "dataSources": {

                    }
                }
            }
        }
    },
    "visualizations": {
        "viz_hwZoBg6m": {
