Buttons on dashboards

What is the challenge?

The ability to add navigational 'buttons' to dashboards does not currently exist.

What is the impact?

To get around this, you can create visual 'button'-like indicators using a shaded table cell and hyperlinked text, but this is not visually attractive and requires the user to click on the text directly (not the broader cell area). This makes for a less visual dashboard, which can decrease credibility with executive stakeholders used to polished PowerPoint and PowerBI dashboard reports.

Describe your idea

The ability to add a 'Button' to a Text panel (or add a Button as a panel itself) to a dashboard. This button could then have the shape, background color, text size, and text color adjusted and a hyperlink destination could be selected (ideally including a toggle for whether to open the link in a new tab when the user clicks the button).
