It uses the $row.field|n$ syntax to reference the value of the link field in each row of the table. This syntax is used to create dynamic links in Simple XML dashboards.

You can find more information about dynamic drill-downs and link syntax in the Splunk Developer Guide.

Explanation
Auto-refresh applies to inline searches and saved searches, and post-processing searches are refreshed when their base searches are refreshed. Enabling auto-refresh for a report does not require editing XML, but rather using the Edit Schedule option in the report menu. Each post-processing search using the same base search cannot have a different refresh time, but rather inherits the refresh time of the base search. For more information, see Set up auto-refresh for dashboard panels.

You can find more information about Simple XML Extensions in the Splunk Developer Guide.
