Advocate IVNavigate to other reports in same workspace
I have multiple PBIX files uploaded to my workspace.
I create and deploy an app and have a landing page that it opens to. This page has some basic info and I WANT to add links to the other PBIX files in the app from this page.
There is no way to make relative links or navigate to other PBIX files, I have to copy and paste the web URL but that means it is different between different workspaces/pipelines (dev, test, prod).
Is there anyway to make direct links so when I create the app or move through the pipelines that the links still work?

Hi sasdfasdfsad ,
The options you have are:
- Use a dashboard and dashboard tiles with links to your report pages as a landing page. You can include the dashbaord in the app and these links update from dev to test to prod.
- You can merge all report pages into one big report and use page navigation. Updates as well. Feels a bit like a workaround...
- Drillthrough buttons work as well between reports, but drill through is a two step process: 1st selecting a data point or category, then the drillthrough button becomes active and allows for navigation. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-cross-report-drill-through
- If you designed the links e.g. as a table visual with a URL field from a dataset table, you can load different URLs in your prod dataset than in your dev or test dataset, e.g. using parameter rules https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/cicd/deployment-pipelines/create-rules#:~:text=than%20one%20rule.-,Parameter%20rules,-%2D%20Select%20a%20parameter
Be aware that some solutions that open URLs do so in a new browser tab.

sasdfasdfsadReport drill through REQUIRES you to use the right click or hover and click "drill through" interface, right?
You can't just left click (like a link) and link automatically opens the drill through report?- Martin_D
Both is not completely true. There is an option to create a drillthrough button. You still need to click an the value or category, and then left-click on the drillthrough button https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-drill-through-buttons

Hi sasdfasdfsad
I would just like to add that currently by design any links always open in a new tab.
Also currently there is no built in functionality for this to work.
