Suppose that I have a table that holds product information. One particular column (column A) has a URL value that points to the product page, while another column (column B) holds the product name.

What I am suggesting is that we could customise a model so the URL of column A could be used to make column B (the product name) a hyperlink.

This way if we present a table that in Power BI that shows product names, the product names would be clickable as a hyperlink. Then clicking on the hyperlink would open a browser window, which would show the product page.

Users could specify such relationship in a similar way they specify a column that is sorted by values of another column.

We've started the work to allow you to conditionally format a column as a URL based on a value from another column.

This is exactly what I would like to see. My application would be displaying a document title and open the link to the actual document.
