Trying to click on an item in the legend and have a new search come up based on item clicked.

Here is my current working code that I am trying to expand:

<view template="dashboard.html">
  <label>foo123</label>
  <module name="AccountBar" layoutPanel="appHeader"/>
  <module name="AppBar" layoutPanel="navigationHeader"/>
  <module name="Message" layoutPanel="messaging">
    <param name="filter">*</param>
    <param name="clearOnJobDispatch">False</param>
    <param name="maxSize">1</param>
  </module>

  <module name="HiddenSearch" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" group="Stolen CPU time per pool" autoRun="True">
    <param name="search">index=unix dom0stat42 | sort _time | timechart span="1m" avg(steal_time) by pool limit=0</param>
    <param name="groupLabel">Stolen CPU time per pool</param>
    <param name="earliest">-30m</param>
    <param name="latest">-0m</param>
    <module name="ViewstateAdapter">
      <module name="HiddenFieldPicker">
        <param name="strictMode">False</param>
        <module name="JobProgressIndicator">
          <module name="EnablePreview">
            <param name="enable">True</param>
            <param name="display">False</param>
            <module name="HiddenChartFormatter">
              <param name="charting.chart">line</param>
              <param name="charting.secondaryAxisTitle.text">Stolen CPU time as %</param>
              <param name="charting.legend.placement">left</param>
              <param name="charting.primaryAxisTitle.text">Time</param>
              <module name="FlashChart">
                <param name="width">100%</param>
                <param name="height">250px</param>
                <module name="ConvertToDrilldownSearch">
                  <module name="ViewRedirector">
                    <param name="viewTarget">flashtimeline</param>
                  </module>
                </module>
              </module>
            </module>
          </module>
        </module>
      </module>
    </module>
  </module>
</view>

I have been trying to follow the Splunk docs guide:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Developer/TableChartDrilldown

I would like to have it launch a new search when clicked:
index=unix dom0stat42 pool=$click.value$ | sort _time | timechart span="1m" avg(steal_time) by pool limit=0

I can get the new search to launch, and the search string to come up, but I am still stuck on getting $click.value$ to work.

Any ideas?
