Simple XML: custom drill down with passing clicked field to new search

I'm looking for an answer using Simple XML.
I know how to do this with Advanced XML, but how can it be done using Simple XML?
I have a table (or chart) that I click on and want the click value (or values) to be passed on to a new search. Basically I want to do things like use summary data (or stats) and pass them on to a raw data search for additional context.
The 6.x Dashboard examples don't cover this scenario.

All the examples I've reviewed show how to to pass a clicked value to a link (another form, another website, etc). So far I don't see any examples of how to do pass a clicked value to a new search -- opening a new pop up window -- target = _blank...)

Okay, unless I completely misunderstood the question, try something like this :
<dashboard>
<label>click test</label>
<row>
<panel>
<table>
<title>search</title>
<search>
<query>index=_internal | chart count by sourcetype</query>
<earliest>0</earliest>
<latest></latest>
</search>
<option name="wrap">undefined</option>
<option name="rowNumbers">undefined</option>
<drilldown target="_blank">
<link>
<![CDATA[
/app/search/search?q=search%20$click.value2$
]]>
</link>
</drilldown>
</table>
</panel>
</row>
</dashboard>

Ok, that is kind of cheating but it works. 🙂 Thanks.
