Can a dashboard refer to another dashboard?

Let's say you have awesome dashboards for each of 6 departments. Each dashboard can be drilled down to a handful of useful reports.

 

Now let's say you want to produce a company-wide super-dashboard for the CEO. Can I build a dashboard that, instead of linking to and displaying information from reports, lets you do the same thing to dashboards?

 

So now, we have a master dashboard that the CEO can go to for the entire company. He can then pick a segment of the company that interests him, say Sales. This drills down to the dashboard for Sales.

Does the latest version support parameter passing across dashboards?

But can you send a parameter in the custom link?   Typically you want to send context of what was clicked on, so for example if you click the East Cost sales in a bar chart, you can pass the axis value as a parameter.   That is how Datazen handles this.

parameters are not supported Man Sad

Is it possible to do the same in Power BI Desktop for reports? I tried to do such functionality , but did not get.

I tried the suggestion below, but it does not change the view in the dashboard.
