    This would allow for intra report navigation and allow users to jump to different dashboards/pages from within the report.

    This would be a very useful feature and take power bi report to the next level, it would allow also separate different reports using composite models and avoids heavy's reports

    Much needed feature - as there are limitations within Dashboard object, we have to utilize Report as Dashboard functionalities with slicer and filters into it. So, navigation is an pain when we use URL/Hyperlink - which always opens on new tab instead of same tab.

    Hope Microsoft fixes this quicker!

    Hi,
    This would be an very useful feature.
    Currently the only way to make a dashboard user friendly is by creating one massive report and navigate with bookmarks. In practice if you have multiple dashboards for different teams you are faced to duplicate your datasets and reports. This obviously is not ideal.
    Thanks.

    RE: Allow Hyperlinks in Text Boxes to Open in Same Tab

    Very surprised it is not possible to select whether a URL link should open in new tab or in current tab. Would expect this to be default option for anything through a web browser.

    Super critical functionality as your Power BI portfolio expands and you need to allow the users to navigate seamlessly between different Power BI Reports in the same App, or in different Apps if required. Opening in new tab just makes the users browser a mess...

    Obviously the functionality should be for web URL in buttons as well. That is where I would use it.

    Thanks.

    We use this feature as part of bookmarks and let users to go back to home page of a multi level drill down executive dashboard. This feature is so critical for us to help leadership team for easier navigation. Currently during their navigation across multiple levels, it keeps opening in multiple tabs and it creates confusion. Please prioritize this and fix it ASAP. Thanks.
