In a report we are able to add a hyperlink item, to change an url to external content  based on our data. This looks like this:

How can we obtain the same result in the dashboard module? We can show the url in a table, but then it's not clickable. The webpage widget only supports a static link.

Hi, As far as I know there is no according out-of-the-box functionality for this. Static links can be added by this extension (hopefully IBM will integrate it one day):  https://community.ibm.com/accelerators/catalog/content/Dashboard-widget-to-create-link-buttons-(11.1.7-FP2-and-above) I'm sure there are more extensions, maybe ones with URLs conditional on data. Without extensions you could use a drillthrough to a report showing external HTML with an iframe (HTML item).

It looks like your data is fully formed HTML. Are you looking to embed that into the dashboard? And if so, do you have other fully formed HTML you would want to embed?

Do you have separate URL and label fields?

Hi, I actually found a way how to do it.. I have a field with the url as a field in data module. In dashboard I have a table that includes this field. Selecting the table and going to "Actions" in top right corner

As Action select "Open link in new tab" and Action Trigger "Data point double click"

Double click on the url in the Table opens the website in a new tab... There's one extra setting - the field with the url needs to be the first column in that Table, otherwise the feature concatenates all field prior to the url field in to one, which gives an error in the end... 

Try this out
