Canvas: Consider adding link property to elements outside of datalink system

[xkilian]

Why is this needed:

There is no current way to simply add a link to an Element.
When creating navigation elements in a Panel, some Elements are NOT linked to a metric as such they cannot have a link associated with them.

What would you like to be added:

In the Element configuration section.
Ability to add a http hyperlink to an Element so that it becomes clickable. This would be a link for the whole Element. NOt a datalink tied to a field.
When the object is clicked, follow directly the link (to new page or replce current page). Do NOT show a tooltip with a link in it.
The http link should support dashboard variables.

Who is this feature for?

Graphically represent navigation links. Provide links for Elements not tied to metric.
This is a basic feature that is often requested.

Hey @xkilian - thanks for raising up this issue - I think these two PRs (expanding data link support vastly + one click access mode) get us a little closer to this reality (with a current work around now being adding a phantom data link to a "hidden" property such as background image that will make the element able to include a link)
