how to pen power bi text box hyperlink url in the same browser window

[Amit_Porwal]

Hi All,

I have added hyperlink to a text box, but when i click on the link it opens ip in the new browser window.

Is there any way to open the url in the same browser window.

Please let me know if it is possible.

Thanks.

Hi Amit,

If I may ask, why would you want to replace the Power BI you are currently viewing with a new page? Nevertheless, I think you could right click your link and select "Inspect" (Ctrl+Shift+I). This should take you the code for the Link, you should see something like this (I am using our website)

<a href="http://www.dbrownconsulting.net" class="url" target="_blank">http://www.dbrownconsulting.net/</a>

You will need to change it to something like this

<a href="http://www.dbrownconsulting.net" >http://www.dbrownconsulting.net/</a>

I don't believe there is a default option out of the box to do what you want.

I want to open in the same browser window because i do not want to open multiple pages as i have multiple text box with hyperlink.

My dashboard is shared across people, so i need a parmanent solution as what you are suggesting is temporary solution.

Hi Amit,

According to your description, you need to open in the same browser window when click the hyper link in your textbox, right?

I have tested it on my local environment, it will open a new tab. As per my understanding, this setting is make sense. Users need to view the report and the content in that link at the same time. So I am afraid there is no such a functionally to work around this requirement.

Is this feature is still not available in Power BI now ? Whether adding the self tag ( ?:embed=y&:linktarget=_self ) at the end of the URL to open the link in the same browser window is now possible ?

Yes you got it correct.

I have few requests from my clients that they want to open the url in the same tab.

Do we have any work around for this?

Thanks,

Amit

Same problem here, we use the telnet-protocol as a workaround for our own protcol but we can´t configure the behaviour of the hyperlinks. Direct support for indivudual protocols would also be appreciated.
