Allow Power BI Designer to open a Dataset or Report published in online Power BI repository

[Tom_Marek]

If you setup a data source using the Power BI Analysis Services Connector that shows up in the Power BI online Dataset repository you should allow the use of that dataset directly from the Power BI Designer. This will allow you to publish reports using the already shared dataset and it also gives you a better experience querying a tabular data source then the Power BI Designer does now when connecting directly to the tabular instance. I would say this should also apply to any other 3rd party data source created there for the likes GitHub, Salesforce, etc. You should also be able to open reports that have been published and edited in the service in the same way.

Can this be marked complete, given the release of this functionality in April 2017?
