Table drilldowns: Problem with forward slash

[enexwhy]

Hi community,

I am trying to create a drilldown for a table using a cell value that contains a URL (or part of it).
These are the problems I'm facing:
1) Splunk converts the '/' in the cell value to '%2F'.
2) Cell becomes unclickable when cell value (containing part of URL) starts with '/'.

To explain the problems, here is a table with different use cases that you can also copy and play with:

<table>
    <search>
        <query>index=_internal | head 1
        | eval can_click = "dev.splunk.com"
        | eval cannot_click = "dev.splunk.com/view/webframework-codeexamples/SP-CAAAEVU"
        | eval can_click_but_forward_slashes_replaced = "view/webframework-codeexamples/SP-CAAAEVU"
        | table can_click, cannot_click, can_click_but_forward_slashes_replaced, with_cdata__cannot_click, with_cdata__can_click_but_forward_slashes_replaced
        </query>
    </search>
    <drilldown target="_blank">
        <condition field="can_click">
            <link>http://$row.can_click$</link>
        </condition>
        <condition field="cannot_click">
            <link>http://$row.cannot_click$</link>
        </condition>
        <condition field="can_click_but_forward_slashes_replaced">
            <link>http://dev.splunk.com/$row.can_click_but_forward_slashes_replaced$</link>
        </condition>
        <condition field="with_cdata__cannot_click">
            <link><![CDATA[http://$row.cannot_click$]]></link>
        </condition>
        <condition field="with_cdata__can_click_but_forward_slashes_replaced">
            <link><![CDATA[http://dev.splunk.com/$row.can_click_but_forward_slashes_replaced$]]></link>
        </condition>
    </drilldown>
</table>

1. can_click Contains a URL with no forward slashes -- works fine.
2. cannot_click Contains a URL that has a forward slash right after '.com' -- does not respond to clicks.
3. can_click_but_forward_slashes_replaced Contains a URL that has forward slashes but not right after a '.com' -- responds but forward slashes are replaced with '%2F'. :: Note that if it started with a forward slash, it will be the same as case 2.
4. with_cdata__cannot_click Same as case 2 but enclosed in CDATA tag.
5. with_cdata__can_click_but_forward_slashes_replaced Same as case 3 but enclosed in CDATA tag.

My question: How can make a drilldown use a cell value containing a URL (or even just part of it)?
