Or maybe, in my case anyhow, there is a way to have a panel shared accross multiple dashboards, or maybe that is the same thing.. – HattrickNZ Jul 25 '21 at 03:11

Unfortunately it doesn't look like Grafana supports this, as of version 9.
See https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/1959, from 2015, and some duplicates:
- https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/5504
- https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/12095

You can subscribe to an issue to be notified of any updates.
The only global variables available for now are the built-in ones listed here -
