How to create a drilldown that when clicked, opens the view and scrolls/snaps to it for the user?

I was trying to figure out how this would work but was having a little trouble.  I was thinking that using similar logic as to what was shown here would work, however wanted to clarify to see if this would be the right track.

I need to use JS, so I can't go with the option provided in the example app. I managed to get the JS working, but now it overrides the dashboard's functionality which is not good.

require([
    "splunkjs/mvc",
    "splunkjs/mvc/tokenutils",
    "jquery",
    "splunkjs/mvc/searchmanager",
    "splunkjs/ready!",
    "splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!"
    ],
    function(
        mvc,
        TokenUtils,
        $,
        SearchManager
    ) {
        $('#selection').on("mousedown", function(){                                                                                                                    
        var element = document.getElementById("html_scroll");
        element.scrollIntoView({behavior: "smooth"});
        });                                                                                                                    
    }                                                                                                                    
);

This is the JS code I have.

The dashboard has a row with an inner table that allows users to select a option that sets tokens. The table displaying all the options for the user is given the id "selection".

Near the top of the page there is another row with the id "html_scroll", which should be snapped to once a selection is made from the table.

For some reason, selections can no longer be made and when any option within the table is clicked, it just automatically scrolls to the row near the top. What could possibly be going wrong?

bump, still lost on this...

Hi @kaneru,

if you see in the Splunk Dashboard Examples app (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1603/) you'll find an example (In-page Drilldown with Perma-Linking) that will guide you to solve your need.

Ciao.

Thank you for the reply, however I need to use JS so I don't think I can follow your recommendation. I updated my post with a reply to describe what I currently have that is half-working.
