Yes, the special $.runRule() hyperlink syntax is the way to do this. Keep in mind that it can be used on any tile that supports hyperlinks and there’s quite a few of those at the time of writing this post:
- Hyperlink Tile
- Note: you can create hyperlinks on the fly without having to predefine a Hyperlink resource now. See screenshots below.
- Media Tile
- Variable Tiles
- String Variable Tile
- Number Variable Tile
- True/False Variable Tile
- Monthly Calendar Tile
- Weather Tile
- Hero Attribute Tile
- Super Tile
- Clock Tile
- Date Tile
- Day of Week Tile
Editable Hyperlink
As noted above, you can add an ‘Editable Hyperlink’ to your dashboard which lets you create a hyperlink on-the-fly without having to define it as a Hyperlink Resource in advance. This is particularly helpful when you want to create one-off hyperlinks.
Context Variable - Dashboard Source
On a related note, I would also add that when you run a rule, there’s a context variable set for which dashboard the rule was triggered for. So if you had the ‘same’ tile across multiple different dashboards, you could adapt the rule for which dashboard it was triggered from.
Of course, if you have multiple tiles that run the same rule from the same dashboard, you would want to use a different approach like the Hyperlink syntax approach.
