Web Dashboard Button with a URL derived from metadata and/or datastreams

We’re looking for a button or a link that opens a specific URL for each device. We have video streams from our devices and we want to be able to open the video viewer from the Blynk dashboard.

So the button would need to hook up to metadata or a datastream so we can set the URL for each device.

You would like to change the video streaming widget url with a button click, am I right ?

What we want is a button that opens another window hosting our video stream viewer portal.

The portal requires a device ID so the button would need to include the device ID in the URL so we need a button with a URL that is derived from maybe the device metadata.

There is currently no web dashboard equivalent of the WebPage Button widget in the app.

@Dmytro may be able to tell you if there is one in the pipeline.

Any update on this feature?
We basically need the same mechanism as app button: being able to open a link that includes the deviceId, a datastream value or a metadata.
Thank you,

Hello!
We have a Web Page Image Button which opens a URL. You can also change the URL dynamically using setProperty.

Thank you,

In the Web dashboard, I have been able to add a button with a static link.
Then, from the hardware, I update the url to a device specific destination:

Blynk.setProperty(V1, "url", "https://example.com/uhid.php?device=" + uniqueHardwareID);

In the app, I directly use the deviceId variable in the url path.
