Is there any way to grab the dataset from the perspective power chart if I wanted to use that data elsewhere? I dont see any method or property for this.

It seems I would have to re-run the tag history query a second time after interrogating the chart props to get the source paths and aggregate modes for each pen.

No, it does its own queries completely under the hood.
