Text Format in a Slicer

Hi,

The descriptions of my data are quite long. The legend is therefore difficult to read.
I used a slicer and I'd like to add a visual (line, picture, ...) or a specific format.

 

I can use a Horizontal or Vertical slicer.
I can use a table or a chart as a slicer workaround but the multiple selection is with a CTRL.

I did some tests to see below

 

My question:
Is it possible to manage the different items of a slicer differently (I can define a json theme so that it corresponds to my chart)?
Is it possible to display 2 fields (1 text, 1 image) in a slicer?
If not, do you have another suggestion?

You cannot have multiple data type in one column, and in the first place, you cannot use image as slicer with the default slicer. My suggestion is to create 2 slicer, 1 default slicer using TEXT field and 1 chiclet slicer using image. Then see if "edit interaction" can achieve your expected output.

@BigLo , I doubt so, because power bi support one data type for one field.
