Import Power BI Dataset

Good afternoon -
one feature that seems to be fairly elusive is the ability to retrieve the powerbi dataset as a data source to projects. I was curious if this is a feature that has been discussed before?

Power BI has the “Analze In Excel” which treats it like like a pivot table so not really good for data mashing and I also saw this post on connecting to the dataset via Azure Data Factory (ADF) that seemed logical

Couple of years ago I have retrieved dataset from Power BI report using database stored procedure. What I did was convert the dataset into JSON and pass as a parameter in database stored procedure. Stored procedure will parse the JSON and store it in table. Then that data can be used directly from easyMorph. Each time when dataset gets refreshed it will call stored procedure and update the table.
