Power BI dashboard/report needs the capability to display an image based on a URL referenced link. This is important for IOT based real time streaming where images are stored on a blob source and every 5 minutes the image for a sewage plant flow control is to be displayed for instance. Other online dashboards like duckboard, freeboard.io etc support this feature already and is a very important one as part of real time streaming data views. (example: for a drone in flight real time info from location (lat,lon) and the last picture it took needs to be displayed on the dashboard)

RE: URL referenced image to be displayed in Power BI dashboard and reports

that should be already possible by Setting "data classification"="Image-Url" for the column with the URL? Unfortunately i'm missing the Feature to use non-anonymous image-URLs, in my case the Images are one a webserver which Needs authentification so it doesn't work
