I have a report with lots of drill throughs and in some cases I'm given more Drill through reports than I would like

For example, I have a top level report and drill through to a region. I then Drill through on another category to a detail report containing all the data (Line By Line). I have a drill through to the one data item from this report. However, bycause region is also in this table I click on a row and can choose my lowest level drill through AND the Region Drill through that I clicked on earlier.

I want the drill throughs to be a little less confusing for the user. Can I stop the region one from appearing here and just show the lowest level drill through without having to get rid of the region column in the table?

We could also use it at my company. Some options of the drill through do not always make sense.

This would be a very valuable feature!

Once you use drill-through you will fall in love with it.
This feature would be so useful when using many drill-through destination pages in one Power BI.
Would help reduce user confusion and frustration.

I would envision this to be a "drill through manager" where you can click and unclick which reports you want available to drill through. I'm very surprised there are not more votes for functionality like this. What can community members do to get this more exposure? I feel it's a topic where someone would see it and be like "YES I WANT THAT" without prior knowledge of wanting it.
