Is it possible to have drop-down choice value as a link to another dashboard?

[puneetkharband1]

I have one drop-down on dashboard 1 and dashboard 2 collects the value and runs a search on that.

Is there a way to use a link in the drop-down on dashboard 1?

MainPage_Drilldown

<input type="dropdown" searchWhenChanged="true" token="App">
  <label>Application</label>
  <choice value=>abc</choice>
  <choice value="abc1">abc1</choice>
  <choice value="abc3">abc2</choice>
  <choice value="TCI">abc</choice>
     </input>
 </fieldset>

I want the Value here to be a link to dashboard which Is a token in search on the same dashboard.

Links can be attached to Dropdown change event for opening another page within Splunk or Web URL.
Following is an example I have taken from Splunk Documentation (only added CDATA for Splunk internal link)

  <fieldset submitButton="false">
      <input type="dropdown" token="openNewPageToken">
        <label></label>
        <default>Select a page to open</default>
        <choice value="">Select a page to open</choice>
        <choice value="manager_page">View prebuilt panels</choice>
        <choice value="splk_page">Open Splunk home page</choice>
        <change>
          <condition value="manager_page">
            <link target="_blank">
               <![CDATA[/manager/search/data/ui/panels?ns=-&pwnr=-&search=&count=25]]>
            </link>
          </condition>
          <condition value="splk_page">
            <link target="_blank">
              http://splunk.com
            </link>
          </condition>
        </change>
      </input>
    </fieldset>

Refer to Splunk Documentation for details... I have asked for CDATA correction in the Documentation

Hi Niket,

This is not working for me, I also tried the same approach.

@manish_singh_777 can you share the code you have used for the <link> section? Is it Splunk Internal or External link? Also which version of Splunk are you on!

In the originating dashboard, have a change with some condition if you like and do a link to the target dashboard:

<form>
  <label>Originating Dashboard</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="dropdown" searchWhenChanged="true" token="App">
      <label>Application</label>
      <choice value="abc">abc</choice>
      <choice value="abc1">abc1</choice>
      <choice value="abc3">abc2</choice>
      <choice value="TCI">abc3</choice>
      <change>
        <condition value="TCI">
          <!-- adjust app (search) and dashboard name (target) -->
          <link target="_blank">/app/search/target?form.app=$value$</link>
        </condition>
      </change>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
</form>

In the target dashboard, have a hidden input and use the token in a search normally:

<form>
  <label>target</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="text" depends="$hidden$" token="app">
      <label>field1</label>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <event>
        <search>
          <query>| makeresults | eval foo="$app$"</query>
          <earliest>-15m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
      </event>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>
