The only way to view all objects is to tab between them in Power BI Report Builder.
This is quite cumbersome and allows a report to be prone to errors an accidents.
For example, a user can accidentally add a table atop another and effectively "hide" it.
Another user opening the same report to work on it won't even know it's there causing mass confusion when a random table starts to display information or an Excel file is all weird.

A simple object viewer like the one that exists in Visual Studio would be extremely useful to quickly move between object properties/selections and see what's in the report.
