HI 

Can someone please let me know how to open different web URLs by clicking on different rows of a dashboard using drilldown option: 

Example :
Dashboard is using vlookup file  File.csv with below 2 columns: 
DESC1 , LINK1
DESC2 , LINK2
DESC3 , LINK3 

I've used the below code , but it is taking me always to the same link even when i click on DESC1 or DESC2 or DESC3. 

<row>
<panel>
<table>
<search>
<query>| inputlookup File.csv | fields * </query>
<earliest>1722776400.000</earliest>
<latest>1722865326.000</latest>
<sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
<done>
<set token="schedule">$result.Schedule$</set>
</done>
</search>
<drilldown>
<link target="_blank">https://community.splunk.com/</link>
</drilldown>
</table>
</panel>
</row>

Is it possible , then if i click 
DESC1 , it will take me to the link  "https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations" 
DESC2 , it will take me to the link  "https://www.google.com/" 
DESC3 , it will take me to the link  "https://blog.avotrix.com/embed-splunk-dashboard-into-external-website/?force_isolation=true"

        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">cell</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
        <drilldown>
          <condition field="Description">
