Connect Azure Cosmos DB For MongoDB to Power BI

We've got data in a Azure Cosmos DB For MongoDB instance with private networking. I've been able to configure the on-premises data gateway, and create a connection to it:

But I can't find any way to now do the same process in Power BI Desktop to be able to query the data and create a visualisation. Am I missing a step? The same connection type of "Azure Cosmos DB For MongoDB" doesn't seem to exist within Power BI Desktop, and I can't find any documentation for the "Azure Cosmos DB For MongoDB" connector. It isn't on this page, for example.

On a desktop or on-premise gateway you are supposed to install the MongoDB BI connector app which presents as an ODBC endpoint, and which then speaks to the db on your behalf.

That's good info! Do you have a link for documentation on that? Or just a link to the connector app would be good!
