Description

With the Get-PowerBIDatasource option i'm able to get the connectiondetails when the sourceType is Sql, Odata, Sharepoint, Web.
But is there a way to get the connectiondetails when the sourceType is of the type File?
Because we want to have an overview of all the connectiondetails in all our datasets.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Get-PowerBIDatasource command and how it handles connection details for Sql, Odata, Sharepoint, and Web source types. Determine whether File source types expose equivalent details through the Power BI interface. Done means documenting or implementing support for retrieving File connection details across datasets.
