Desktop Power Bi restricts hyperlinks.

Below code works for Power Bi Web.

 

var val = 'https://powerbi.microsoft.com';

tr.append("td").append("a").attr("href", val).attr("title", val).attr("target", "_blank").text(val);

 

Make sure that url is valid http or https protocol. Without the protocol the link would try searching within subdomain of https://app.powerbi.com and the page wont get displayed.

 

Try this out.

I got a solution on last Friday 30. Sep 2016.

 

I try out window.open in the onClick method. 

            bars.on('click', function(d) {
                selectionManager.select(d.selectionId).then((ids: ISelectionId[]) => {
                    bars.attr({
                        'fill-opacity': ids.length > 0 ? BarChart.Config.transparentOpacity : BarChart.Config.solidOpacity
                    });
                    window.top.location.href = "https://www.google.com";
                    //window.open("https://google.de");
                    d3.select(this).attr({
                        'fill-opacity': BarChart.Config.solidOpacity
                    });
                });

                (<Event>d3.event).stopPropagation();
            });

            bars.exit()
               .remove();

 

But today i got the sandbox error in my chrome console. Did the Power BI Developer change something on the IFrame?
