Interacting with reports in UWP App?

[Lacodia]

I'm new to PowerBi and am looking for some basic advice and direction to help us determine if our scenario is supported or not.

I want to embed reports into an C#, Azure/Power BI backed UWP app, drill down into the report, and click a button for an element to launch a form with the relevant data from the report, to populate the form. It looks like I can use the PowerBI-JavaScript library to find the correct page and filter to launch the correct PowerBI API to get the data, but will I be able to target the correct PowerBI element with a UWP Button using a combination of the PowerBI-JavaScript library and PowerBI API?

I'm not sure I understand how to filter to a user specified row and launch a UWP button form within PowerBi, or if I will need to have the user select an item within the embedded report, firing a javascrip event to load an external uwp button's datacontext?

Thank you,

Mark

I'm not familiar with UWP button, so I may not understand the requirement above totally.  With PowerBI-JavaScript library, you can also handle the report loaded/rendered or pageChanged event without having the user select on an item within the embedded report to interact with the uwp buttons.
