Get name of visual a user clicked on with JS

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.
