Action buttons that navigate to other reports in app

Hi,

I am having an app with several reports. I want to have one front page with buttons where I can navigate to the different reports in the workspace. I have managed to do this with the help of "action" -> web-url functionality, but the issue is that everytime I click on a button the report will open in a new tab, not in the same window as I am in. Is there a way to get around this so that the navigation on my front page will be similar as to the one on the left pane?

 

Thanks

I would like to have the same functionality too. In addition, like the page-navigation with Button , the use of Bookmarks would be nice. Having this, a webpage like navigation with dropdown menues can be realized like this:

I would like to have the same functionality. I have some naviatgation buttons at the top of my report. The navigation buttons go to different reports. I want users to be able to select the button without a new tab showing up. I just want it to follow the link to the new page. Is this possible yet?

Hi, @Anonymous 

As far as I’m concerned, the custom navigation for Power BI apps can be the only way to achieve your requirement in Power Bi at current.

Hi Robert, thanks for your answer. I don't believe this will do it, since this only enables me to paste a link to a separate app and embed it into my app - or am I misunderstanding this?

 

The core issue is thus that I need to paste a URL into my "action button" and keep the navigation within the app I am in - which seems tricky to do.
