PR to move changes from develop to 9.x branch:

Merged, but will reopen to capture that we need to move content to the release 9.x branch since it was merged to develop.

Closed previous PR to address comment above. Added documentation on how to use data links to get similar results to the deprecated custom actions feature:

Custom Actions were not added to the v9 Alarm Table Panel because the Grafana Data Links functionality (see) provides more or less the same functionality.
For example you can create a Data Link with a URL of http://localhost:8980/opennms/alarm/detail.htm?id=${__data.fields.ID}
. The fields in the Alarm Table rows will appears as links and when clicked will go to that alarm detail URL.
Another example: http://localhost:8980/opennms/element/node.jsp?node=${__data.fields["Node ID"]}'
to go to the node detail for the alarm.
The user can add multiple Data Links and Grafana will display them as a small context menu which will display all the items, so there could be e.g. items for alarm details, node links or other links based on the alarm severity or other field data.

Could you please take a look and see if there is anything to be done regarding this functionality ? Are we now missing this functionality or is it handled differently?
