Help to Navigate from Dashboard to Another
Anonymous OK, first of all, you are using "dashboard" in a way that is utterly confusing. What you are referring to is called a "report" in Power BI. In Power BI "dashboard" is something completely different than what you are talking about. So we were speaking apples and oranges with one another.
So, with regards to your question about using a button on a report that points to a Web URL as an Action and having that open in the same tab and not a different tab, I am not aware of a solution for that.
If you create a dashboard and set the action on the tile of a dashboard to a web url then it will remain in the same tab and not a different tab.
I have a Dashboard A in Power BI Service with 3 pages. On each page I created a navigation menu between these pages. For this, I chose an image on https://www.flaticon.com/, inserted it in the dashboard, went to Action, chose Page Navigation and finally the destination page. When the end user clicks on any of these icons, in the Power BI Service, navigation continues on the same browser tab. This is perfectly in line with what I wanted.
But I chose a home icon to take to a Dashboard B. For this, I went to Power BI Service, opened Dashboard B, copied the URL, went to Dashboard A, the home icon, action, in type I chose web url , and entered the copied address and published the dashboard to the Service. Then, when the user, who is on dashboard A, clicks the icon to go to Dashborad B, dahsboard B opens in a new tab. The goal is for this dashbard to open in the same browser tab that the user is using. Opening in another tab creates a bad experience. It could be the way I'm inserting the link ... Would you know how to help me with this, please?

Sorry for confusion, I'm new in the PBI world.
I appreciate your help! Thank you very much!
