Ability to pass a dynamic instana custom dashboard link in the alert

Customer want to pass a dynamic instana customer dashboard link in the custom payload of the alert that has dynamic filters based on the entity in alert.
for example customer has a custom dashboard that show queue usage statistics over time. when a message queue fills up, customer wants to send an alert that has link to the existing instant dashboard with queue name as a URL parameter in the filter, so dashboard shows only the queue usage statistics for the queue under issue. currently custom payload only lets you select the queue name, it is not possible pass a URL and replace the filter in the URL with quename dynamically.

    While the idea is interesting and I can see the value, architecturally the dynamic custom payloads are based on related entities on our dynamic graph of correlated entities. Like the host where the trace was sent from or the cluster where a pod goes down, etc.
    Custom dashboards are fully independent from this and may or may not have the same entity referenced in their filters. This is not something we can backtrace and figure out which dashboard is filtered for the effected entity of the alert.
    Dynamically inserting the queue name might sound reasonable for this specific alert, but generally the link to "Analyze problem" on the Alert detail page will show the relevant information already.
