View technical query name when using direct query

Hi!
Is there any way I can view what query I am using after connecting to it direct?? When I am importing I can see from the navigator when editing the query in power query. But when using direct this option is not availeble. 

I want to see:  (it shows the technical name when I am hovering on it)

But after I have connected I cant see the tecnical name for the cube/query. Only the tecnical name for the different objects in the query...

@rebeccagrefw , In power query you should be able to see the source for the direct query.

Only for live it is not available, for that you have check the source of the live connection dataset or analysis service
