Dynamically display web search results based on filter values

Here's the idea. Say you're a sales rep and you're looking at your accounts and notice that revenue went up/down recently. I would like the rep to be able to drill to that account (via drilthrough) and have another dashboard that displays recent account activity.

 

I would like to take this a step further by also doing a web search based on the account name to pull up recent news/headlines (maybe there's something there than explains the change).

 

I'm wondering if there's a way to do this in power bi?

    Richard_S,

    You can use Drillthrough feature in Power BI Desktop, however, it is not able to take a automatic web search based on filtered values.

    You would need to get web data ready in Power BI Desktop, then make reports to analyze these data.
