Charts - Ability to open drill down link in new tab

shashi.shringari Internal · Nov 8 2022

Idea Summary
Currently, Apex Charts allow us to add drill down link. But, its not possible to open link in new tab. If a dashboard has 8-10 charts, it does not provide good user experience as we need cant open drill down link in new tab

Use Case
This is on usability side. We are creating dashboard with multiple charts. Charts has drill downs(redirect to page in same application). Our requirement is to open link on new tab of browser when user clicks on chart.
Unlike link property in interactive/classic report where we have link attribute where we can put target="_blank" as part of attribute, I could not find such things for chart regions.

Preferred Solution (Optional)

This request is likely a duplicate of FR-2814.

    Effectively a duplicate of FR-2814.

    Note that the proposed use case is problematic due to potential session state issues when running the same session/application simultaneously in multiple browser contexts.

    This is very much needed from usability side for charts. It is very inconvenient for users to use back button every time to come back from chart drill downs.

    Coming to problematic use case, I dont really think so. This is exactly same functionality of drill down provided for IR with new tab as simple attribute. Why this would create only problem for charts?

    Very helpful if there are many charts on a page…

    Why this would create only problem for charts?

    It doesn't. The problem applies to any situation where multiple browsing contexts backended by a single APEX session exist.

  • shashi.shringari OP 3.5 years ago

    Correct. So as I understand from your answer, the multiple browsing context does is not applicable here.
    Can this be considered for implementation? Support of opening drill down from chart in new tab is all we need. Thanks!
