Open target URL in the same tab, as the Homepage" app (embedded into PowerBI)

Hi All,

In Short.
If possible I want to have an app embedded into PowerBi to open a URL of a report in the same tab that the embedded report was opened.
Currently opening new tabs for every click.

Formula used:

Launch(
    LookUp(
        'User Dataset', 
        Mail_DS = User().Email && Bericht_DS = "Bridge", 
        URL_DS
    ),
    {},
    LaunchTarget.Replace)

In Detail:
I am using some reports that are opened up from a PowerApp based homepage through using some hyperlinks from a dataset where you can add/remove a selection of user specific favorited reports.
(when users click on the report in the app embedded to PowerBI (launches through app.powerbi.com/...)

The problem is that it always opens up everything in a new tab that clutters the screen of the users.
-I have tried using some formulas through "HTML Text" insted of the button but I couldn't make it happen.
-I also tought about maybe using some PowerAutomate function to help.
-As a workaround I don't know if it is possible to bind it with a folderpath rather than a URL, would then "{},LaunchTarget.Replace" work ?

Thank you, for your efforts and time in advance,

Kind Regards,
Attila L.

Dear @MichaelFP,

Yeah I suspected and researched this prior but I dont know if there is alternatives to it or workarounds.
This is why I asked in my request if somebody is able to provide some sort of solution.

Hi if you look at the documentation of the launch function you can see a note talking about using the function inside embedded Power Bi

So it is not possible to use.
