Adding an overlay with a hyperlink to a line chart

Hi Anonymous,

I believe that tables, matrixes, text boxes and shapes are the only visuals that have hyperlink functionality available, and you cannot currently have hyperlinks directly against a data point. Whilst you could add a report page tooltip that contains a contextual field that could work as a hyperlink, these are non-interactive.

In terms of custom solutions, whilst a bit more work than using core visuals Deneb is a certified custom visual that allows you to create bespoke visuals using the Vega and Vega-Lite languages (and is a lot less effort than building a full custom visual). As these languages both have an href property for marks, you can bind a URL to a data point or related mark and this can be delegated to Power BI to open on the user's behalf when clicked. Not sure if that helps, but might give you a couple more ideas.

Regards,

Daniel
