Lookup Editor: Can I open a specific lookup file from a link in my dashboard?

Hello All,

I am wanting to create a user-defined "dictionary" for a dashboard and would desire for the user to click on a link within the dashboard to launch the Lookup Editor app on a specific *.csv file. I would seed the dictionary with specific columns. 

Is this possible?

I tried something like the following but got an error ... "The lookup could not be loaded from the server"

         <drilldown>          
           <link>
                http://myServer:8000/en-US/app/lookup_editor/lookup_edit?owner=nobody&amp;namespace=myAppName&amp;type=csv&amp;Name=client_information.csv
           </link>
         </drilldown>

 Appreciate the help.

Edit the namespace value with the actual value as per your environment and add the value for transforms (If available for the lookup or leave it blank)

 

<option name="list.drilldown">full</option>
<drilldown>
    <link target="_blank">http://myServer:8000/en-US/app/lookup_editor/lookup_edit?owner=nobody&namespace=myAppName&lookup=client_information.csv&type=csv&transform=</link>
</drilldown>
