    I was able to recreate this by using a Table and designing it as a menu. Yes there is no other way.

Hi fahadkhan ;
I'm not sure if there is a straght way to open the webpage by dicretly clicking the item on Button Slicer. However, i would add a blank button to perform as an 'open' action to redirect users to the webpage. This would be a simpler workaround. You would only need to use a 'SELECTEDVALUE' calcualted measure like: 

 

SelectedWeb = SELECTEDVALUE(Table[WebsiteURL], BLANK())

 

After users made their selections they can click 'GO' to open the webpage. For the Action setting on 'GO' button, use the Web as its type and the above calcualted measure as 'fx'. 

 

Thanks and please let me know if there are better solutions:)
