Add an option that allows to select (highlight) bookmark navigator items using a DAX measure.


Normal Bookmark Navigator behavior: latest used bookmark is selected (and formatted using Style | Apply to State = "Selected" section of the formatting pane).


When a new option is ON, ignore the normal behavior and select a bookmark by a name returned by DAX measure.


Example (normal behavior):

Bookmark 1

Bookmark 2

Bookmark 3 - this one is selected, because I have just clicked on it

Bookmark 4

Bookmark 5


Example (new behavior):

Bookmark 1

Bookmark 2

Bookmark 3

Bookmark 4 - this one is selected despite because My DAX measure returns "Bookmark 4"

Bookmark 5


Among other possible ways to use this feature it will be easy to create "hamburger button" navigation on all report pages.

Alternative implementation:

When a new option is ON just select a bookmark that belongs to an active page, instead of selecting a last used bookmark (last used bookmark may be part of another group, not included into the Bookmark Navigator).
