Can I Create or Modify Power BI Report Visuals from React?

Hello Microsoft Team,

I have integrated a Power BI Embeded report into my React application using the Powerbi-client-react package.

Currently, if I need to:

Add a new visual
Delete a visual
Change chart type
Change visual properties (colors, titles, formatting)
Modify the report layout

I must open Power BI Desktop or Power BI Service, make the changes, publish the report, and then embeded the report in React reflects those changes.

My requirement is different.

I want users (or developers) to make these report UI changes directly from the React application, without opening Power BI Desktop or Power BI Service.

My questions are:

1. Is it possible to create new Power BI visuals directly from a React application using powerbi-client-react or any other Microsoft-supported SDK/API?

2. Is there any Microsoft API or SDK that allows modifying report layouts, visual formatting, or adding/removing visuals from React and saving those changes back to the Power BI report?

3. If this is not supported, what is the recommended Microsoft approach for implementing this requirement?

Thankyou.
