This is now possible with templated dashboards. Here's a dashboard definition that would accomplish this goal. Save it to a file under the dashboards/ directory. Eg dashboards/mydashboard.json.

You can pass it parameters as such:
http://localhost:8000/index.html#/dashboard/file/mydashboard.json?index=some_index&type=apache&query=html

In the JSON below, note the occurrences of {{ARGS.something || 'something'}}. The variable after the dot in ARGS is the name of the URL parameter. The bit after || is the value that will be used if no url parameter is passed. This definition is based on the logstash.json one, so you might need to change the occurrences of @timestamp and @message to something else.
