Short answer: Yes!

Somewhat longer and more useful answer: Yes, but you’ll need to create custom code to do so. You’ll want to convert the list of dimensions to a JSON.stringified object, save them in state with useEmbeddableState, and convert them back again for use in the .emb.ts file.

You can see an example pull request implementing this logic here:

> This branch is a quick implementation of a dimension select component and shows …how to modify existing components to use it. Note that this hasn't undergone significant testing or code cleanup yet, and is only a proof of concept.
