Is there a way to retrieve the name of a visual on a report from a user click. I know i can call `report.getPages()` and then on a page do `page.getVisuals()` but ideally i would like to just pick up the visual name from a click, maybe a custom context menu option that could then pass it as a parameter to a function
To clarify the Playground shows the below code, but it does not show you how to get the VisualContainer4 value. That code assumes you know the visual name....
try {
const pages = await report.getPages();
// Retrieve the active page.
let page = pages.filter(function (page) {
return page.isActive
})[0];
const visuals = await page.getVisuals();
// Retrieve the target visual.
let visual = visuals.filter(function (visual) {
return visual.name === "VisualContainer4";
})[0];
const filters = await visual.getFilters();
console.log(filters);
}
catch (errors) {
console.log(errors);
}

In case anyone looks at this in the future, you can get the visual name throught the event parameter.
there is a visualClicked event you can subscribe to which then provides the visual details including the name.
