Use Drillthrough in Custom Visual?

Is it possible to use drillthrough in a Power BI Custom Visual?

 

enter image description here

If so, could you please provide a snippet of your visual.ts file to show how it's to be used? I've been searching for documentation on it and nothing has turned up - I'm beginning to think its not available for developers yet and only for the official visuals provided by Power BI.

 

Thank you!

    I don't think that Power BI Custom Visuals API supports drillthrough feature.

    We'll update once it's supported by API.

      Hi Ignat, I'm looking for drillthrough - that's drilldown. If you find anything else, please let me know. Thanks for your help.

      It's on our backlog.

      We'll update once it's implemented and released.

        It would be really nice if we had lots of control over what drill through targets the menu shows. In a large report, the drill through menu is too cluttered with every possibility, some are nonsensical.

      It's been in the SDK for a while (as of API 2.2) - if you have an eligible drillthrough page then the context menu API will display it as an option. Note that Power BI determines the contents of the context menu; you can only supply the x/y coordinates and associated data point (if applicable).
