Stacked Chart Within Stacked Chart?

I've got a few layers of data and wanted to know what the best way to go about displaying it would be. I need to be able to create a SNAPSHOT image of this data. I have 5 browsers (e.g Chrome, IE, Mozilla) and in a stacked bar chart have put users (e.g Internet Explorer -> 10 corporate users, 5 personal users, 3, other
                               Chrome -> 15 corporate users, 20 personal users, 4 others

                               Mozilla -> 2 corporate users, 5 personal)

 

Now within the users, I have sites they went on. So lets say the personal user could either go on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Same with the other users. How can I make a chart so that

 

Internet Explorer -> [10 corporate users -> (5 facebook, 4 instagram, 1 twiitter)], [5 Personal users -> (2 facebook, 3 twitter)], [3 other users -> (2 facebook, 1 twitter)].

 

Esentially I want to break down the data shown in the stacked chart even further, created a stacked chart within a stacked chart. I don't want to highlight anything, just have it as a picture. Let me know if you have any ideas!

@Anonymous I think the functionality you describe is a good use case for tooltips - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-tooltips

You can create your second "drilled down" layer in the tooltip and by hovering over the one stacked chart, would expose the further breakdown in the tooltip stacked column chart.
