Introduce "Drill Across" Functionality

[Sidhant]

Summary:
Power BI currently supports drilldowns (e.g., hierarchy-based navigation like Year → Quarter → Month) and drill-through pages based on filter context. However, there's no native support for "Drill Across" — a powerful feature in one of the well know BI enterprise tool that allows users to drill between unrelated attributes or columns, even if they aren’t part of the same hierarchy or table.

Problem Statement:
In many enterprise use cases, business users need to explore data laterally across unrelated dimensions. For example, from a "Product" summary, a user may want to drill into "Customer Region" or "Order Status" — attributes from entirely different domains or tables.

This kind of exploration is not possible today in Power BI unless we create multiple drill-through pages with predefined relationships or use complex workarounds.

Feature Request:
Introduce native "Drill Across" capability that allows users to define custom drill maps or navigation paths between unrelated fields/tables — without relying on traditional hierarchy or model relationships. Similar to how MSTR allows:

i)   Drill Up / Down (within a hierarchy)
ii)  Drill Across (across unrelated columns/attributes)

Benefits:

1. More flexible data exploration
2. Better user-driven analysis
3. Reduces the need for multiple drill-through pages
4. Aligns Power BI closer with enterprise-level BI features.

Example Use Case:
From a "Sales by Product" visual, a user could drill into "Customer Demographics" or "Shipping Status" — without needing to predefine all relationships or drill-through pages.

Current Workarounds (Not Ideal):

i) Creating multiple drill-through pages
ii) Using bookmarks with filters
iii) Modeling artificial relationships

Conclusion:
"Drill Across" would significantly enhance Power BI’s self-service capabilities and bring it closer to feature parity with other enterprise BI tools. Please consider adding this to the roadmap.

I really don't know if this is something missing. I am checking that after Drill Mode activation on a visual element I am getting other visuals being affected by any point or legend description I click from any visual with Drill Mode On.
