Summary

InfluxDB users may need to deep link related dashboards, which can be achieved using Flux, string interpolation, and variables. The simplest way to do this is by copying the URL of the desired dashboard and pasting it into a new dashboard's table view with Flux. However, preserving the current time range when deep linking can also be done by using the `http.pathEscape` function in conjunction with string interpolation and variables to convert start and stop times to variables in the dashboard URL link. Additionally, custom variables for orgID and dashboardID can be created to make deep linking more streamlined.
