Power BI Paginated Report Embedded in Angular - Image with defined action "Go to URL" not clickable

In our paginated RDL reports, we have a column in the table that displays an image. This image is defined with the action "Go to URL" in Power BI Report Builder. When clicked, it opens a browser and navigates to the appropriate URL.  This works just as expected when running the report in the Report Builder itself. When I review these same reports through Power BI embedded, the image is not clickable and does not show a pointer cursor. This is true both in our Angular app and in our Power BI workspace.

Is this a known issue? Are there any possible workarounds other than something hacky such as drilling into the html and making changes to the iframe manually?

Thanks

    HI bunnerstall,

    What type of URL are you used? AFAIK, current power bi only support the root image file links(e.g. www.xxx.com/test.jpg) that can be accessed with anonymous mode. (I suppose it might be related to security reasons)
    If the URL has be redirected or required any additional authorizations, they should not be recognized and loaded image to the visuals.

      The image itself is loading fine. I'm talking about setting the "Action" of an image to redirect to a URL, like so. The URL is a different part of our application under the same domain. Currently when the image is clicked, nothing happens.

        HI bunnerstall,

        Any settings on your web browser that may block these types of actions? I'd like to suggest you double check on them to confirm it.
