Is it possible to pull the names of the tables used in the report that are listed in the Show Tables in the dataset view?

You can certainly use the Get Data function to do this manually using the scanner APIs but the Scanner APIs can't be made into tables in the custom connector at this point because they require POST calls and polling to determine when a scan was completed.

Anything that relies on a polling mechanism is not a good fit for custom connectors in Power BI. While they're feasible, they're far from efficient and are better implemented using other technologies.
