Is there any reason you cannot use bookmarks?

The idea is that I have a common chart in a page of the report.

 

In another page, let me call it loosely a dashboard, I have some buttons where some information via a filter is stored in the form of a hyperlink. All works, except the launch and the back button.

 

So the link would look like 

 

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/.../reports/.../?filter=tablename>/<columnname eq 'search string'

    To add a little clarification, the idea behind being able to open the in the same report window (and the same tab of the browser) is so that the Back button functionality is available.

     

    Greg_Deckler \ anyone ?

        Could you please explain how you accomplished this task?

         

        I'm trying to build a similar solution - report with the action buttons and action linked to the web URL of the other Power BI reports. Need to use back button to come back to this Power Bi report - separate reports and pbix files.
