Related links can be added to the top of your metrics dashboard, which can be used for quickly
navigating between dashboards or external services. The links will open in the same tab.
You can embed links to other dashboards or external services in your custom
dashboard by adding **Related links** to your dashboard's YAML file. Related links
open in the same tab as the dashboard. Related links can be displayed in the
following locations on your dashboard:
The dashboard's time range is appended to the `url` as URL parameters.
- At the top of your dashboard as the top level [`links` dashboard property](#dashboard-top-level-properties).
- In charts context menus as the [`links` property of a panel](#panel-panels-properties).
Related links can contain the following attributes:
The `url` attribute is required for the link but the `title` attribute is optional; if the `title`
is missing then the full address of the URL will be displayed.
- `url`: The full URL to the link. Required.
- `title`: A phrase describing the link. Optional. If this attribute is not set,
the full URL is used for the link title.
- `type`: A string declaring the type of link. Optional. If set to `grafana`, the
dashboard's time range values are converted to Grafana's time range format and
appended to the `url`.
The dashboard's time range is appended to the `url` as URL parameters.
The `type` attribute is optional; if the `type` is `grafana`, the dashboard's time range values are
converted to Grafana's time range format and appended to the `url`.
The following example shows two related links (`GitLab.com` and `GitLab Documentation`)
