Accessing partitions from a Dataflow (XMLA)

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to access the partitions of a dataflow (which uses incremental update)? as if it can be done with the datasets through SSMS or Tabular Editor.

Thanks in advance!
Cheers.

As you know XMLA is for datasets. There is no server for dataflows, dataflows are stored in managed data lake storage. If you have Premium capacity, you can set your Workspace to use your own ADLS Gen2 storage and access dataflow snapshots and possibly individual partitions. I'm not aware of any other way.
