It is possible to associate a Look on my LookML project? (Without a dashboard)

Here's what I'm trying to do:
I have a Dashboard containing various Looks (separate visualizations). In my LookML project, there is a folder called dashboards where we have some dashboard files. An example of dashboard file looks like this (test.dashboard):

- dashboard: test
title: Testing
layout: newspaper
preferred_viewer: dashboards-next
tile_size: 100

filters:

elements:
- name: hello_world
type: looker_column

If I wanted to implement a Look to my test.dashboard file, I would have to add its parameters to the elements: segment, right?
But what i really wanted to do is, add my look's parameters to a hypotethical "test.look" file, and make it independent from a dashboard to work, with its own explore and etc.

Hi @7_, thanks for your post! 

If you need to have a LookML-based Look, you can create a LookML dashboard with only one tile (the visualization/Explore that you would like). That is essentially a Look. 

If you would like to let our team know that you'd like to be able to make LookML-based Looks, you can file a feature request by following these directions:  https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/The-Kitchen-Table/Feature-Requests-How-your-feedback-makes-L...

Hi Lobo,
I'm also need to create a Look using LookML also.

As a dashboard with 1 tile can also not be do the schedule to google sheet like the Look.
