Hi SvenW ,

 

From my test, it works as below.

Normally, it will not prohibit Power BI from opening a webpage. I wonder that "not working" you said meant after you clicked the button, nothing happened, or after you clicked the button, it junped to website but couldn't open the webpage as below.

You can try another web url or create a web text box to see if you can open the website. Or you can try to refresh or update your Power BI Desktop.

My apologies for the ambiguity, I indeed mean that when CTRL + clicking on a button, nothing happens. I have tried multiple web-urls. Also when I try using a text-box url it does not seem to work.

I do believe that I am running the most recent version of Power BI: Version: 2.111.590.0 64-bit (November 2022). 

 

Refreshing the report, or starting in a new blank report yield the same results. Would you have any other suggestions?
