Add the ability to edit interactions from the 'Selection' pane (or a separate pane).
We are using a combination of buttons and bookmarks to show/hide visualizations so it is difficult to edit interactions on all of the overlapping hidden vizualisations. Having this functionality in a pane would make editing interactions much easier.

RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
That would be awesome and I add to that, a necessity of a button that edits interactions in several graphs, without having to click on one at a time.
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
This is an excellent and very needed improvement. Even a feature to toggle the default on a page (currently everything is defaulted to interaction) would be a vast improvement.
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
This is such a great request!
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
It is a feature that is frequently used but very difficult to manage on power bi. It is necessary to provide convenience in this regard. We should be able to manage the interaction of an image with all other images with a single button.

I have created a UX design which can allow easy editing and bulk selection. It also offers two-way approach (From and To) allowing to see all visuals affecting selected visual easily. Here is the UX of Interaction Pane:Picture3.png (2878×1990) (raw.githubusercontent.com)

How do we merge with other ideas? This is just like an idea I submitted Jan 2022 (I know I should have searched first and just voted on this one). Microsoft Idea (powerbi.com)I can't believe this is not getting more votes!! A general search brings up lots of pain points with regards to managing interactions in Power BI.
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
I couldn't agree more with Power BI Desktop requiring an overhaul to "Edit Interactions".As soon as you have a dashboard with a handful of filters and visuals, then add graphics, text, labels, shapes etc - editing interactions becomes a nightmare.I had the exact same idea, why not implement a simple series of interaction icons to the selection pane.Then all I have to do is select a visual and all other elements in the selection pane provide the usual couple of icons for filter, highlight and don't filter.This simple feature would make it more efficient and save the sanity of any Power BI dev when managing interactions!Lets start with that and improve from there.Cheers

It would also help if you could control the interaction with the object itself especially when it is a matrix that you don't want to filter down to just one row, when you actually want to just select that row and filter the other objects based on the selected interactions.
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
I have various BI Dashboards that have quite a few visuals that are more or less stacked right on top of each other, and it makes using the Edit Interaction Icons nearly impossible. I constantly have to resize visuals and move them around to get what I need done, then reorganize everything again after. The icon placement also doesn't always make it clear which visual you are selecting. I think these icons should appear inside the visual in one of the corners, or even right in the middle until you turn off the Edit Interactions option that makes them visible. At least give an option to make the icons appear either inside or outside of the visual.
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
Sometimes there are a lot of visuals and it is kind hard to edit interactions between the visuals.
It would be nice if we could manage it by a dialog box like we are able to do when setting the relationships up.
This feature would be great and very helpful.
