Hyperlink
Hi revansh, I'm not aware of a way to do this in Power BI. The closest method I've found is to put both columns into a table, and change the formatting of column 2 to set the "URL icon" feature to ON. This then shows a small link icon in column 2, instead of the web url itself. Users can click on the link icon to open the URL.

Hi revansh, instead of going for a custom visual you can opt for Text box and embed a link in that. The Textbox appears under the Insert section of Home ribbon in Power BI. You can go through the following steps :
1. Select the text box from the Insert section
2. Type in, for e.g : Click here to go to next page
3. Select any word to which you want to apply link, in this case I'll select "here"
4. Click on Insert link icon
5. Type the url and say done
6. Publish the report to the service and click on the linkHere's a snapshot of what I did,TextBox when published on Power BI ServiceOn Power BI Desktop, at the time of giving link to a specific word

I believe the link icon is only an option in tables. I'm not aware of a way to use hyperlinks in scrolling visuals. Is this a custom visual?
yes, It is a custom visual.
Thanks
