How to extend the dropdown menu beside a field in results

[tpflicke]

When a field is selected to be shown in the results, the field appears with a collapsed dropdown menu containing the items 'Tag =' and 'Report on Field'.

I would like to extend this menu with additional items for some fields.

Example
I extract and show the user_id in the results.
In the menu I want to display an item that, when clicked, opens the URL http://somedomain/display?user_id=6787765685 in a new browser tab/window

BTW, ideally I want to build the URL from more than just one field value, e.g. http://somedomain/display?user_id=6787765685&date=20140131&firstname=Fred

The HTML of the menu (before modifications) looks like:

<div class="outerMenuWrapper splShadow splMenu splMenu-primary" style="display: none; top: 556px; left: 975px;">
  <ul>
    <div class="innerMenuWrapper">
      <li class="">
        <a href="javascript:void(0);" tabindex="-1" class="menuItemLink" s:fieldname="user_id" s:fieldvalue="6787765685">
          Tag user_id=6787765685</a></li>
      <li class=""><a href="javascript:void(0);" tabindex="-1" class="menuItemLink" s:fieldname="user_id" 
        s:fieldvalue="6787765685">Report on field</a></li>
    </div>
  </ul>
</div>

You won't need to modify the view. Splunk supports that via an out of box feature called workflow actions. The Knowledge Manager Manual has a good explanation along with examples. You should be able to implement in a few minutes.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.
