Add Support for Clickable Hyperlinks in Dashboards

Description:
Currently, dashboard fields only render as plain text. When we concatenate pipeline execution URLs, the result is a string that users must copy and paste into a browser. Even attempts to format with HTML (e.g., <a href="...">) only show text, not a clickable link.
Example Use Case:
We want to create a field like “Open Pipeline” in a dashboard that directly links to the Harness execution. Today we can build the correct URL with concat(), but it’s not clickable.
Why This Matters:
Improves usability: users can quickly navigate from dashboards to pipeline executions without copy/paste.
Saves time for operations and monitoring teams.
Aligns with common BI/dashboard practices where links can be embedded for faster access.
Requested Enhancement:
Enable dashboards to render concatenated fields as clickable hyperlinks (similar to how Looker and other BI tools handle link formatting).

Support Clickable URLs for Custom Dimensions in Harness Dashboards

Description:
Currently, when users add a custom dimension to a Harness dashboard—for example, a pipeline execution URL—the value is rendered as plain text, even if the custom dimension represents a valid URL. As a result, users are unable to directly click on the value to navigate to the relevant page. Instead, they must manually copy the text and paste it into a new tab to open the link.
This creates an unnecessary usability barrier, especially in use cases where teams want to track and quickly access execution details directly from the dashboard.
Requested Enhancement:
Enable support for rendering custom dimensions as clickable hyperlinks in dashboard tables or widgets when the custom dimension contains a valid URL.

Thank you for this request.
To enable this on custom dashboards for pipeline specific use cases, the Pipeline Executions and the Step Executions v2 data sources now have a "Pipeline URL" and "Step Execution URL" respectively. These are both clickable links.
Please try to use these and let us know if it unlocks your use case.
