At this moment, there're two ways to create report, as you mentioned, either in desktop or wep app(Power BI Service).
- Create reports in Power BI Desktop, publish/import them to Power BI Service or Power BI azure workspace, then embed the reports.
- Create reports in Power BI Service, with any existing datasets. them embed the reports.
You can submit your idea at Power BI Ideas.
