How can I pass parameters to Prebuilt Panels

[markbarber21]

I want to use common panels across many dashboards. This way I can modify one object, and update all related dashboards. This is an important software principle of Don't Repeat Yourself.

It seems prebuilt panels are very static and do not allow you to pass parameters or use tokens. Can anyone help me use tokens or pass parameters to a prebuilt panel?

It appears you can use tokens in prebuilt panels, but not pass specific parameters.

Example prebuilt panel XML

<panel>
  <table>
    <search>
      <query>index=_internal source=*splunkd.log data_host=$host_pattern$* data_sourcetype=$source_type_pattern$
