Local Filters for Individual Visualizations on Kibana Dashboards

[esraata]

Currently, Kibana provides global filters and the "Controls" component to filter data across all visualizations within a dashboard. However, there is a need for a more granular filtering system that allows filters to be applied locally to individual visualizations, without affecting the entire dashboard. This feature would provide more flexibility and control, especially when building complex dashboards where different visualizations need to reflect different data sets based on separate filtering criteria.

These filters should:

Be isolated to a specific visualization, ensuring that changes to the filter only affect that visualization and not others on the same dashboard.

Allow end-users (dashboard viewers) to modify these filters dynamically, without needing to edit the visualization itself.

Coexist with global filters, so users can still apply dashboard-wide filters if needed, but local filters will take precedence for the visualization they are associated with.

I believe this is probably covered by #134706 and/or #179820, but I'll let the Presentation team manage this!

This is indeed covered by #134706. I would say #190342 also covers this, since we plan to add the ability to add controls to a specific section of the dashboard rather than top-level :) cc @teresaalvarezsoler

Closing for now, but feel free to re-open if I'm missing something.

@esraata we are developing a solution for this now. It would be great to get your feedback on it. Is it fine to organize a meeting so we show you the mockups and learn more about your use case?

@teresaalvarezsoler we would love to connect.
