Creating a Navigation in PowerBI Report (Similar to App)

Hi 

 

Is it possible to create PowerBI App style navigation (with collapsable headers and sub-items) in a report with multiple pages?

 

Details

 

I have a report with 11 pages. I want to split them into four categories, make the first page as the category header and have the other 2 or 3 as sub items when the viewer/user opens them up. 

 

Now I can make an app but that would mean splitting the file into four and publishing it four items. 

 

Any clues to this?

 

Thanks

Current power bi does not contain this feature.  As a workaround, you can create 4 report pages for the 4 categories and assign reports to each categroy.

With bookmarks you mean like creating a custom frontpage and linking to bookmarks? Because I made a few bookmarks and tried to add those to the Navigation but it only has option of linking to a report or a dashboard.
