_Data links_ allow you to link to other panels, dashboards, and external resources and _actions_ let you trigger basic, unauthenticated, API calls.
In both cases, you can carry out these tasks while maintaining the context of the source panel.
For each data link, set the following options:
- **Title**
- **URL**
- **Open in new tab**
- **One click** - Opens the data link with a single click. Only one data link can have **One click** enabled at a time.
For each action, define the following API call settings:
