Expand Power BI Visuals API to get Column Descriptions from semantic model #93

Description

@DKurz-AmeriCorps

I am developing a custom visual and my desire is to get both columns and their respective column descriptions into the visual.

I would like the Power BI Visuals API to be expanded to include a 'Description' attribute to the 'DataViewMetadataColumn' property. I don't know if the column/measure descriptions that can be defined in the 'Model View' of Power BI desktop are exposed to the Visauls API, but that is the data I'm looking for.

Would this be possible to achieve?

The Column Descriptions in Power BI Desktop that I would want to pull into my custom visual.
