Dynamic Dashboard Filters for Text Widget

My apologies if this has been covered already, but I have been search forum and haven't seen this topic.

I am building a text widget that performs an API call to display data from another system.  This is important as I am attempting to put all information for a facility to a single pane of glass.  

Is there a way, to pass the Filter value at the top of the dashboard to the text widget for me to use in my java script call?

  •  There is an older post (probably archived) for this specifically.  It goes so far as to push token/property values back into the dashboard based on the selection in an HTML form pulldown.  I'm currently tracking this down for another purpose... let me unearth that and link it here.

      I appreciate you replying to my message.  Generating HTML code to hit an API is helpful for some use cases I have, and am using that methodology to pull IPAM data for a specific site.  However, in my case I have build a site summary page that will provide a single view for all network equipment at a site by using a dash filter to select a site code property.  I have a widget on this page that also has the ability to pull IPAM information on that site and populate a text widget.  to do this though, I have a sperate drop-down on that widget.  I would prefer to pass the site code from the dashboard filter directly to the java script on the text widget, eliminating the extra step.
