PowerBI Embedded - How can I access the DOM elements inside the Iframe?

Question

I have an IFrame embedded in a web application hosted on my localhost which displays a report. I want to be able to select the dom elements inside that IFrame via JQuery so that I can add some custom events, stop the propagation of click events etc. I know this breaks the same-origin policy but is there any way around this?

No - you cannot access the elements within the Power BI iframe. The closest you can get would be to create a custom Power BI Visual. This will give you access to the DOM elements/events of your own visuals, but not other visuals on the page.
