Power BI Connector - Get Data via Azure Data Catalog
I would like Azure Data Catalog to be a special Power BI Connector that supports the following scenario:
In Power BI Desktop I click "Get Data"
Select "Azure Data Catalog"
Select one or more objects from the data catalog
Click "Connect"A connection is made to the source(s) of the selected object(s)
NOTE: This is a different feature from making Power BI data available in the catalog and catalog data available for reporting:

Delete/Flag deleted fields / tables on data source updates
Somehow the data source update process needs to cope with deleted tables and fields.
We are often renaming fields/table and deprecating them and this is an area that allows the ADC to get out of sync with the actual data source.
Either a hard delete or even some kind of soft delete method would be good. Please also allow this to be automated

Select from multiple connection strings for a single artifact
We have users who will need to access an artifact from the data catalog in multiple environments (DEV, UAT, PRD). It would be good if we could associate a single artifact to multiple connection strings, and allow the user to select which connection string they need when opening the artifact.
