Link to external web site (or other published Power BI Application)

I've searched... unsuccesfully

 

I have a URL ... lets call that "http://stuff.co.nz" to which I will call in human speak "Stuff".

 

I want to create a clickable object that allows me to click on "Stuff" to take me to the url as described.

 

 

I have created a manual table with Human Text, URL ... and could click on the URL text (after designating the column as web URL). But I was unable to do that for the Human text. 

Now a Text Box lets you describe something as a link... only... I can't see how that actually works... because clicking on it does nothing. [Running August 2018 release).

 

I'm missing a trick here. How do I do this?

This should do the trick... but ummm

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-add-hyperlink-to-text-box

 

OK, so it's supposed to work when published to the powerbi web site. Which is exactly what I want. Though this doesn't let me test it as such... oh well.

 

 

Additionally... the August 2018 release has a Web URL that you can set up. In the example (watch the video) I can't figure out how the icon is presented instead of URL text.

OK format the Matrix, under VALUES, look for URL Icon and turn it on.

An exceptional update woud be to allow me to use my own icon! 🙂

 

Well... I think that's all.
