Honeycomb Dashboard Clickable Tiles

haowen — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 06:46:35 GMT

Hi,

I’m trying to make Honeycomb tiles clickable using a URL field from my DQL script.

In a normal table visualization, this can be done with the Markdown column feature. However, in the Honeycomb table, I can’t find a way to achieve the same.

Is there any way to attach a URL variable from DQL so the tile becomes directly clickable?
Or, alternatively, is there a way to modify the click interaction logic in the Honeycomb tile?

fetch events | filter event.kind == "SDLC_EVENT" | filter event.category == "pipeline" | filter event.status == "finished" | filter event.provider == "gitlab" | filter in(vcs.repository.url.full, $Repository) | filter in(cicd.pipeline.name,$Pipeline) | filter in(cicd.pipeline.run.trigger, $Trigger) | fields Pipeline_ID = cicd.pipeline.run.id, Project = vcs.repository.name, Ref = vcs.branch.name, Status = cicd.pipeline.run.outcome, Timestamp = timestamp, URL = cicd.pipeline.run.url.full | sort Timestamp desc

@haowen You would not be able to drilldown directly, but you can select a cell to open a menu of cell-specific options and pick "open cell with" to get to the details .

May not be same as what you would want, but this is the currently available option.

Hi,
Short answer is no,

in the new Honeycomb visualization you can’t inject your own URL from DQL to make a tile directly clickable. Clicking a tile only opens the built-in action/drilldown menu, and there’s no way to override that with a link from your data.

What you can do instead:

Table + Markdown column (simplest)
Switch to a Table visualization and add a column with a Markdown link:

fetch events | filter event.kind == "SDLC_EVENT" | filter event.category == "pipeline" | filter event.status == "finished" | filter event.provider == "gitlab" | filter matchesValue(vcs.repository.url.full, Repository) | filter matchesValue(cicd.pipeline.name, Pipeline) | filter matchesValue(cicd.pipeline.run.trigger, Trigger) | fields Pipeline_ID = cicd.pipeline.run.id, Project = vcs.repository.name, Ref = vcs.branch.name, Status = cicd.pipeline.run.outcome, Timestamp = timestamp, URL = cicd.pipeline.run.url.full | fieldsAdd Link = concat("[Open pipeline](", URL, ")") | sort Timestamp desc

Second option is what @p_devulapalli answer, stay with Honeycomb
Use the built-in actions/drilldowns (no support for arbitrary URLs from data).

And last option is build a lightweight AppEngine app with the HoneycombChart component and map clicks to your URL field.
