I don't believe that the Azure Data Catalog is for documenting Power BI Desktop files like that, that article is more about what data sources within Azure Data Catalog will open in (what tool like Excel or Power BI. Unless I am missing something.

Hm... Power BI Desktop is also a supported dta source like Tabular or SQL Server. (But you cannot makeconnection to the tabular server with the discovery tool)

So I think Power Desktop should be also a source when i'm reading this article
