Looker: can you use ${dimension} in tile title or in markdown tile? uses for drilldown?

Often new tiles are need to provide more information about something which is interesting (ie user sees that a server is not ok and wants to see broken down stats).

By enabling cross filtering, I can allow user to click on visualization to select the server and another tile would show stats. Can I adjust this tile’s name to reflect the server name being shown?

Another question:

I could see using drilldowns in this case but using drill fields gives very limited control over the drilldown visualization. Instead can I point a drilldown to a tile or look?

Hi @Anonymous

unfortunately, there is no way to dynamically adjust the body of a tile.

On your second question - you could try using the link parameter to create a link to an explore/dashboard/look of your choice. See this for an example, there are other examples in our documentation as well.
