Make Doc link in Discovery app plug-able

[pandrese]

Make the Doc link in the table view in the Discovery app plug-able.
This would enable fast and easy integration with other systems.

Say e.g. I need to link to 3 different systems for further information about a given document, to be able to see further information about an event described in the document. The plugin API should provide access to all fields of the document to enable full flexibility in creating the URLs referring to other systems.

This is feature proposal was discussed briefly with @epixa and @spalger during Elasticon 2017.

I think a workaround here is to use runtime fields along with URL formatters:

Runtime fields allow you to craft a string using multiple field values, and the URL formatter allows you to link off to different systems.

We've evaluated & discussed this issue and have ultimately decided that we won't be working on it in the foreseeable future. In an effort to keep the open issues manageable, we will be closing this issue. Thanks again for your contribution.
