Power BI Visual Options menu and Context menu extension in custom visuals

[Anonymous]

In November's update Visual options menu and Context menu extensions were added for embedded scenarios. Is this also supported for custom visuals? The only information I could find about it is this topic, but it's from April so I'm not sure if anything changed since then?

I'm not totally sure. I can't even find these features for native visuals for some reason.

Can you see the features for native visuals?

I've seen sort on some of the visuals, but no custom menu items.

Are there any updates on this? Its been 4 years and I can't find any good documentation for customizing the context menu.

HI @araver - still not possible to customise if developing custom visuals. I think it's a great idea and have asked for this a few times over the years and it hasn't materialised yet.

All you can do currently is request Power BI to display the menu, and pass an optional data point ID, which will permit options such as drilldown/through if Power BI recognises the data point as one it originally sent to the visual.
