Using either Information Link and Data Connection as a Data Source, Map Chart will automatically try to load underlying data, even when said data layer is unchecked - i.e., set to hide.
For a data layer that is unchecked in a Map Chart, any data fetch on it shouldn't force the Map to spin (re-render), even when the underlying data may be loaded for other visualizations in .dxp.
An option to not execute Information Links when opening .dxp if they are not actively used in any visualizations - e.g., active layer in a Map Chart.
For On-Demand Data Source, provide a way to forcefully suppress the Load Automatically option on .dxp launch, only executing the command when it's triggered - e.g., Marking, Filtering Scheme, Property Control.
