Building on top of an imported Semantic Model in Power Query

Hi there - I am experimenting with imported semantic models. My assumption was that once imported they would behave in a similar way to referenced datasets and allow you to add new steps to the imported semantic model in Power Query. Is this possible in any way?  I have had no luck so far.
Thank you in advance

No, I don't think you can enhance the Power Query steps of a referenced Semantic Model. It sounds like that is what you are asking. But in some cases, you can add additional Measures, etc. There are so many variations of how models and reports are configured that it is hard to keep them straight.
