Too Many Browser Tabs!

Hello everyone.

I have a PBI report that uses a URL filter to navigate from a table to another page where you can see more details about a selected item. This works just fine, but as I move through the report, it creates a new browser tab each time I use that filter and I end up with a huge number of tabs before I'm done.

I've heard that there is a small bit of Java code I can attach to my URL to make everything use the same tab. Currently my simple DAX reads: 

 

URLPass =
var rptfilter = "Dir/Name eq "&"'"&SELECTEDVALUE(Dir[Name])&"'"
return
rpturl&rptfilter
 
Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks for any suggestions!

    Have you tried to use page drill-throughs to acheive similar functionality of seeing more details on each item?

      Thank you for responding, Vicky. My managers feel that the drill-through feature is not intuitive enough for their audience and this work-around was my solution. This browser issue is the last piece of the puzzle.
