    This would allow for intra report navigation and allow users to jump to different dashboards/pages from within the report.

    Please implement this to make it possible to build out a proper reporting system. No one wants multiple tabs!

    RE: Allow Hyperlinks in Text Boxes to Open in Same Tab

    Very surprised it is not possible to select whether a URL link should open in new tab or in current tab. Would expect this to be default option for anything through a web browser.

    Super critical functionality as your Power BI portfolio expands and you need to allow the users to navigate seamlessly between different Power BI Reports in the same App, or in different Apps if required. Opening in new tab just makes the users browser a mess...

    Obviously the functionality should be for web URL in buttons as well. That is where I would use it.

    Thanks.

    We use this feature as part of bookmarks and let users to go back to home page of a multi level drill down executive dashboard. This feature is so critical for us to help leadership team for easier navigation. Currently during their navigation across multiple levels, it keeps opening in multiple tabs and it creates confusion. Please prioritize this and fix it ASAP. Thanks.

    RE: Allow Hyperlinks in Text Boxes to Open in Same Tab

    Please add this simple functionality - it is a major irritant to my users, that they end up with multiple web browser windows open following a simple navigation through our dashboards.
