Alternatives for filtering dataflows

Hi, I know that there is no possibility to have row level security for dataflows (does anyone know whether this is on the roadmap?)

Is there however an alternative to to this with linked dataflows? I'm thinking a main dataflow with the complete dataset and then linked ones where the data is filtered by, let's say, market. So that when the market dataflow refresh they don't query the database again but they pull data from the main dataflow and this ends up making the market dataflow refresh quicker (than querying the database again but with a filtered query). Is something like this available either with a Pro or Premium per User accounts? 
Thanks

Hi  @lg_analyst ,

Unfortunately there is not RLS at the moment for dataflows.

You can pay attention to the power bi announcement. The new feature will be announced once released.
