Simple Case
In the url
of a link
parameter, you can omit the instance name and Looker will fill in the instance name with the instance you're on when you click the link. So you can just use /dashboards/123
.
User Attribute Workaround
If you want something dynamic that isn't just the current instance name, we can use a clever workaround.
There is no liquid variable that can make the domain of a link dynamic, but you can workaround this by creating a user_attribute with the same name on each instance, but assigning it different default values. You will not assign this user attribute to anyone, but always use the default value. In the link parameter, you will hardcode the default value of the user attribute for each instance, like this:
https://{{ _user_attributes['instance_hostname'] }}/dashboards/123
