The virtual views page said the only way to get full dimension configuration, such as clickable links, on a virtual-view column was to model the query in dbt instead. That's still true for full dimension configuration, but it's not the only path to the narrower, common case of just wanting clickable links in a table.

Chart Studio already builds custom chart types from the results of any query, including a virtual view's, from a natural-language prompt, with editor-or-above permission to build. This change:

  • Adds a line to the virtual views page's note on dimension configuration, pointing readers who only need clickable links to Chart Studio instead of a dbt model.
  • Adds a concrete example to the Chart Studio page's chart-building steps: prompting for a table that renders a URL column as clickable links (opening in a new tab), noting this works against a virtual view's query without full dimension configuration.

Both edits link to the other page rather than restating its content, keeping each fact in one place.
