The current version of Power BI visualsation framework does not support access to the previous levels in a drill-down. I.e. you only get access to the current level when rendering. That makes it very hard to develop visualizations such as pivot tables or breakdown trees.
This would let custom viz developers add thing like pivot tables and Breakdown Trees :)
[This idea was created as an offshoot of https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/15844186-pivot-tables-and-breakdown-trees. Fredrik had initially asked for updates to the Custom Viz API, but many votes and comments were cast assuming the idea was just asking for the Power BI team to build Pivot Tables or Breakdown trees!]

Hi, Drill-down for custom visuals is now supported in the framework, so any developer can update their custom visual code to add drill-down support (where applicable). Here is the announcement with the details: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Custom-Visuals-Community-Blog/Visual-API-1-6-and-Drill-down-capability-available/ba-p/190457 Documentation is on GitHub: https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-visuals/blob/master/Capabilities/Drilldown.md
