Error which I am getting when trying to redirect using javascript-

Blocked opening 'www.google.com' in a new window because the request was made in a sandboxed frame whose 'allow-popups' permission is not set.

Hello @amitsangal78,

Power BI Custom Visuals API 1.7 doesn't allow to open any external urls due to security risks.

This feature will be included into API 1.9.

API 1.9.0 has been released recently.

This version introduces Launch URL API that allows custom visuals to open external URLs.

Hey the url for 'Launch URL API' is not valid. Can you give me an updated url or tell me how to enable 'allow-popups' permission so I can open a new window from the sandbox. Thanks
