Opening web page content returned from API call into user's browser using Power Query

Hi there,

 

I am new to Power BI and I have a steep learning curve to follow quickly.  My question is with the Query M Language making API calls.  I have to authenticate first before using an API as a data source.  I receive html in response to the first step in the authentication flow process for the user to enter their username and password.  Is it possible to open the user's default browser to render the html content correctly.  Or is there alternative browser component I can use in Power BI?

 

Thanks,

 

DJ
