We are going to use embedded dashboards and reports in our organization. In som of the dashboards I have added af tile which consist of a picture with an link/URL. This reference to another webapplication (in this case a rather simple budget application). When using the dashboard in the Power BI service and click on the picture it just works fine. I get redirected to the budget module (in opens up in another tab in the browser.
However - when I do the same thing (click on the tile) in Power BI embedded, it simply do not work. I should be possible (in Power BI embedded) to click on a tile and it simply opens the browser and direct you to the web application. It should also be possible to get directed to the URL in the iFrame (thoug I do prefer that it opens another tab in the browser).
This could open to all kinds of possibilities. FYI - I have not found a work around for this particular problem, though you can add a text field and insert a link/URL in the tile. It is however not a pretty solution in the dashboard.
