“This is exactly the use case we created dbt Charts for.”
“The result is a big range of flexibility”
“Yes you can! Chart can have links assigned, either automatically or dynamically.”
“I've been mulling extending dbt Charts to support ggplot”
“I like to explain dbt Charts as the Vega-Lite but for BI”
https://openai.com/index/put-data-to-work/ was a compelling demo for me, being able to interact with a artifact and contextually EDA on a series or outliers is lowering the barrier to entry for BI exploration. I think meeting engineers where they work and being flexible and open sourcing these capabilities is really great to see
