    Yes. Would be a great addition. Shapes, especially the rectangle one has rounded corners which makes for awesome looking buttons. Except we can't add out text to it :(. Almost every functionality within Power BI seems like it has that one thing missing.

    You could use the Title box of the shape for your text. That's what I do to make menu items.

    Alternatively, allow Text boxes to have 'links'
