In Pin Map, have the points map to a link


I was able to create a Pin Map. In my case, each point on the map is pointing to a location(latitude/longitude) and an id(session key). I want to able to click on the points on the map and have the point open a specific entry in a bottom dashboard/table. I am thinking this can be achieved by passing the id as a parameter to the bottom (or new) dashboard and then this dashboard can show more details (around 30 fields) for that id.
In short, there should be a way to map points to a clickable link.

Hi @ncst100
You can use “Custom destination” since 0.37.0:

But there’s currently an issue with updating filter from map pin:

@ncst100 I’m having a similar problem here.

I want to click on the pins and take the filter to another dashboard automatically with the click, but it doesn’t work. The filter only goes with the link if I select him manually. Very frustrating because for a great user experience, the first action that comes in mind is goes to that info by direct clicking on the map.

@isisgo Then go and upvote the issue.
