It doesn't work that way and it is VERY confusing to do by hand reading the documentation. The best way to get this working is to download and install the Splunk Dashboard Examples app and go to the drilldown section and look at how the external URL example works and clone from there. Get the app here:

When i click,
url is https://answers.splunk.com/static/app/SA_TOTO/km/test.docx

I think that SimpleXML on your dashboard is a relative link.
