How to create field parameters in Power BI DirectLake Semantic Models (Datasets) using LIVE connection to Desktop?

Also, would Workspace Viewers be able to connect to Power BI Service Semantic Models (Datasets)?

I want to release self-serve analytics capabilities to my Org users who have Workspace Viewer access to my DirectLake Semantic Model, which has ADLS Gen 2 Delta lake shortcuts configured in a custom Semantic Model (I had to create a custom one connecting to the tables in the Fabric Lakehouse because the default Semantic Model doesn't allow creation of relationships between tables).

I want this functionality too.  Right now we can only do it in Tabular Editor.  We would prefer to do it in the direct lake semantic model.

You can't do anything with live connections.  At the minimum you need to convert them to Direct Query with local data model.
