Ability to add plain text
If you have a huge dashboard with all kind of things, but you want to group them under a title, lets say:
You have 10 charts on left with aggregations from collection A and 10 charts on the right with aggregations from collection B.
You can easy clarify things if you put a plain text above all charts as title.
For example:
[Collection A] <- plain text
All charts from collection A

There is a workaround for this, but it's very clunky. The idea is to use the query bar so that there is only a single document, with a field that contains the heading or text that you want to display. Then create a "Top Item" chart type, using that field.
1. Pick any Data Source (which has at least 1 document in it).
2. Use a pipeline like this in the Query bar:[
{ $limit: 1 },
{ $project: {
_id: 0,
info: { $literal: "Text you want to display goes in here. This could be short for a heading, or longer for an explanation. Unfortunately newlines/paragraph breaks aren't possible, not any sort of text formatting or markup." },
} },
]3. Choose "Top Item" Chart Type.
4. Use the "info" field for the Sort.
5. Use the "info" field for the Display.
6. Go to Customize -> General -> Label Size, and adjust if desired.
7. Go to Customize -> Fields -> Display -> "info", and override the Label if desired. If you want to get rid of the label, put a single space character.
8. Save and resize the Chart accordingly on your dashboard. -

Ideally not just plain text, but something more expressive like markdown or similar.
