    I have a dashboard which uses the Card report to list a set of results. Each result includes a JobUri which I'd like users to follow. While I can add the URI to the card it is presented as just text. Example: https://msit.powerbi.com/dashboards/abfa898c-325a-4fc7-a20c-df1193cc4ac7

    Setting the Data Category to WebURL does not appear to work from SSAS via the connector in Power BI, but it does appear to work connected directly to SSAS in Power BI desktop.
    Really would like this working in PowerBI without the protocol restrictions

    This may to intense and for a later release but seeing that it is being worked on. If we had a URI and it was to a picture, could we make it display the picture some way?

    Scenario: I have a title of a web post and the url. In the power view report, I want to display the title but include the hyperlink to the url when we click the title.
