Secure callout from drilldown

Is it possible to configure mutual tls when accessing an external link from a dashboard drill down?

I need to call out to a rest api from a dashboard link but also have the connection secured.

Hi @pr891 

Dashboard drilldown callouts are usually GET requests with query params those are encrypted while in transit only if the target external link is HTTPS enabled with TLS and cert is trusted by your browser where dashboard is opened.
