Next to many other features, You can:
A possible solution is writing custom code around these calls and embedding them in eg. Azure Functions or the (web)controllers of a Custom application (seen in an MVC pattern).
I tried to find any documentation about adding buttons to PowerBI to offer execution of custom logic. I was not able to find anything on that topic.
