Direct Query Parameters using Slicer

There is a new feature for using a slicer to update a parameter that is then can be used to as part of a direct query, where clause for example, in Power Query advanced editor. It doesnt appear that this feature works with server information like in the example below.

 

Thought?

Yes, but apparently they cant be used to change a server name in the M code.
