File Prompt for Custom Connector

Is it possible to have Power Bi prompt the user for a file using a custom connector? It would be like the Excel or XML connector that immediately displays the file explorer when you chose them from Get Data.

Hi @owjo1001,

Can you please explain more about your requirements? They should help us clarify your scenario.

In addition, I don't think you can display the custom explorer menu after inputting the connection strings.

Never mind I realized it's not possible to extend file.contents through a custom connector.
