Hide Azure Data Explorer Explore Query in Dashboard Tile

Question

Is there any way to prevent end users finding out the underlying KQL in tiles in a dashboard shared to them?

Underlying KQL may be sensitive, for example accessing to SQL databases via sql_request function. End user could see the credential in the connection string.

The use case is to prevent end user directly querying SQL database with the information ready available from the KQL statement in ADX dashboard tile.
