Open Reports links in the same tab in a Power bi App

[FloUL]

Hello,

We've created a Power bi App which contains reports and a dashboard. On the dashboard, we pinned the reports to give the users a taste of what is in the App. However, the dashboard becomes so heavy that when we open the App there is a massive delay before it gets loaded.

To work around that, I created a report in which I have images linked to each report with the URL of the report :

Example : https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/apps/10a9fc39-5e88-4c88-9bd8-314071ad2a90/reports/1894a180-8906-49...

My problem is that the URL opens up into a new tab, which does not work with the integrated navigation we are trying to implement by using a dashboard.

Please, any idea how can I link a report to an image and have it open in the same tab (the link point to the report in the App) ? I'll take any solution at this point, I've been searching on this everywhere.

Thank's for the help. Flora

Hi @FloUL 

I think you have two requirements:

1. Build image hyperlinks in your report.

2. When you click the report link in your app, the link will open the report in the same tab instad of building a new tab.

Your demand is a good idea, while image hyperlink is not supported to implement in Power BI currently.
You can vote up this idea for this function：Allow hyperlinks on the images

Or you can submit a new idea to improve the Power BI.
It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

You can try to show image by image url and add report url link into table visual to achieve your goal: Image Hyper link

I have a test to open a report url in app, it won't open the report in the same tab. It will build a new tab to show the report.

Hi @v-rzhou-msft 

Thank you for your response. Indeed, I added a report link to an image as you mentionned. This part works fine, I think there was an update in Power bi that integrated this feature.

But the link still open on a new tab. Is there a way or trick to make the link open in the same tab ? Based on research I made, it seems this option is not supported on Power bi ?

Thank's. Flora

Hi @FloUL 

You can try to right click your link, copy link then paste it into the same tab and open it.

Your demand is a good idea, while opening the hypelink in the same tab is not supported to implement in Power BI currently.
