Button on a dashboard opens separate dashboard?

[ FlexSim 18.0.2 ]

I'm attempting to have a single dashboard have a few different buttons on it which when pressed will bring up specific other dashboards to the user. Is there a code snippet that allows for opening up certain views (in my case, another dashboard)?

This question seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle. @Regan Blackett Do you have any insights as to whether this is possible?

You find that what you are looking for, if you look into the view tree.

The source code line is there:

applicationcommand("dashboard", rank(node("/Tools/Dashboards", model()),2));

The tree looks like this

switch-to-dashboard-by-button.fsm
