Happy to share some thoughts here. I did not find an easy way to do this for postgres/psql or other interpreters. Here is what I did using the spark interpreter.
I am not doing drill down via html links, but via select/drop drown list. Hopefully you can do something for links. Here is the angular API for zeppelin: https://zeppelin.apache.org/docs/0.6.2/displaysystem/back-end-angular.html <https://zeppelin.apache.org/docs/0.6.2/displaysystem/back-end-angular.html> https://zeppelin.apache.org/docs/0.6.2/displaysystem/front-end-angular.html <https://zeppelin.apache.org/docs/0.6.2/displaysystem/front-end-angular.html> In my use case, I have a book with 6 paragraphs, which use angular variables. For example in the first paragraph, I have the following: // Create a select/drop down list of hosts var hostList: List[(String, String)] = Nil ….. val selectedHost = z.select("Select a host for analysis", hostList) // Bind the selected hosts to an angular variable z.angularBind("selectedHost", selectedHost) In the 6th/last one, I have this code which runs the angular watch API, to detect and refresh the 4 key paragraphs when the variable changes. %spark val selectedOptionContext = z.getInterpreterContext() def myWatcher0(before:Object, after:Object) { z.run(1, selectedOptionContext) z.run(2, selectedOptionContext) z.run(3, selectedOptionContext) z.run(4, selectedOptionContext) } z.angularWatch("selectedHost", myWatcher0 _) Hope this helps. There might be better ways of doing this and I’d like hear thoughts from others. > On Mar 31, 2017, at 6:11 PM, murexconsult...@googlemail.com wrote: > > I am trying to create a drill down in Zeppelin on some data.
