Power BI Tooltips API - clickable links

Hi. Does the Power BI tooltips API support clickable links as part of the tooltips info?

 

Example: Clicking on businessweek.com will redirect to the website. Is this supported?

Hi @drewL20240531 ,

 

As far as I know, tooltips feature in Power BI is an addition to show more details based on your current visual.

It is a read only feature.

Your demand is a good idea, while it is not supported to implement in Power BI currently.
You can vote up this idea for this function:Microsoft Idea
Or you can submit a new idea to improve the Power BI.
It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

 

Currently I suggest you to try the drill through feature as an alternative.

Set up drill through, then right click on the bubble in your map and drill through from your map page to table page.

Then you can use the link your table or matrix visual.
