Have you ever used "Folder as a source" in the Query Editor? You can probably use the same approach for multiple databases/tables.
Essentially what you end up doing is creating a custom function that you then pass the database/table information into and the custom function parses the table. Then it will ultimately extract all that data into one final table in the Query Editor.
Here's a post on the community I found that might answer your question: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-connect-multiple-database-with-same-table-in-Power-BI/td-p/35514
Hope that helps.
