Is it possible to add context menu option for buttons and shapes in PBI Embedded?

[arpost]

I am wanting to add a special menu option to buttons/shapes in an Embedded report via API, but it appears that Context Menu options don't show up for buttons. I've added a new commmand, which shows up just fine for standard visuals but no joy with buttons:

I'm using the PBI Embeded Playground to test out the API and cannot figure this out. Here's some of the relevant code for the playground:

const newSettings = {
    extensions: [
        {
            command: {
                name: "extension command",
                title: "Extend command",
                extend: {
                    // Define visualContextMenu to extend context menu.
                    visualContextMenu: {
                        // Define title to override default title.
                        //You can override default icon as well.
                        title: "Extend context menu",
                        menuLocation: models.MenuLocation.Top

                    }
                }
            }
        }
    ]
};

// Update the settings by passing in the new settings you have configured.
try {
    await report.updateSettings(newSettings);
}
catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
}

// report.off removes all event handlers for a specific event
report.off("commandTriggered");

// report.on will add an event handler to commandTriggered event which prints to console window.
report.on("commandTriggered", function (event) {
    let commandDetails = event.detail;
    console.log("Event - commandTriggered:\n", commandDetails);
});

Hi @arpost ,

It seems no such a object for extending context menu on button/shape. You can submit your ideas on Power BI Ideas website.
