How links, drilling, and selectors work together

When an attribute element in a Grid/Graph is underlined, such as Northeast in the example below, a user can click it.

Northeast can be underlined because it is any of the following:

A link (to another document or a report)
A selector (that displays a different attribute element in a Grid/Graph)
A drill (to another level of aggregation, as defined by a drill path)
Any combination of these possibilities

If Northeast is all three (a link, a selector, and a drill), when the user clicks Northeast, it functions as a selector, because you can access the link and the drill from the right-click menu, unlike selectors. When a user clicks Northeast in the example shown above, the graph on the right is updated to display the values for Northeast, as shown below, because the behavior for clicking Northeast defaulted to selector:

If Northeast has a default link and a drill, the link is executed when Northeast is clicked, as shown below. By definition, a default link is the action that occurs when the link is clicked, so it takes precedence over the drill. In this case, the target document is executed, displaying information about employees in the Northeast region.
