Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible for a custom datasource to also
return metadata that is not used to display the chart but is used to
update a separate element on a page?

What I'm trying to achieve here is that we would like to have multiple
charts showing different activities on a page but then also to have a
text summary of the data that is in those charts e.g. a chart that
shows revenue by day and then also a text element that shows the exact
values of 'average revenue', 'variance against target' etc. Some of
these values would be generated from the values in the charts but
others would be independent pieces of data.

It would be possible to return this data as an extra element in the
datasource as part of the 'Wire Protocol' but it seems that this extra
data is not available after the "google.visualization.Query" has
returned and called the callback function for handling the data.

Is there any way to achieve this, or do I need to make separate
requests to get metadata back? Apologies if this has been asked before
and answered - I had a look and couldn't see anything similar.

cheers
Dan
