    @Usama Wahab Khan , You can connect to Bastion only from Portal as of now. You cannot just click a link to access the VM as you need to pass on credentials to RDP/SSH to the VM.

    The only way to RDP/SSH to VM using Azure Bastion would be to navigate to the VM and connect to the VM by passing credentials.

    The link to bastion host page of VM has defined format, something along these lines:

    https://portal.azure.com/#@DIRECTORY/resource/subscriptions/{Subscription-GUID}/resourceGroups/{GROUPNAME}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/{VMNAME}/bastionHost

    you can copy this link using your browser "copy link address"

    You can use "Custom Markdown" tile in your dashboard and save a link there

    This should work in most cases, unless you move subscriptions, resource groups or rename VMs.
