Can a visual select items in a slicer?

I have a 'Scatter Chart' visual with an x axis of 'Respondent ID'.    I'm also using Microsoft's 'ChicletSlicer' visual (which is not really a slicer) to give easy access to the selection of 'Respondent IDs'.   These two visuals cross-filter on this report page, all is well in that regard. 

 

I also have the standard slicer with 'Respondent ID' "Synced" across the other pages of my report, although it's only visible on this page.   Using this standard slicer I can select one or more 'Respondent ID' values and see only the desired results on all the other tabs/pages.   

 

I would much prefer if selecting a specific 'Respondent ID', or group of them using 'Ctrl-Click' on the 'Scatter Chart' or 'ChickletSlicer' visuals would give me the same cross-page filtering ability.  

 

Is there a way to accomplish this?  Here is what this looks like, currently:

It turns out the functionality I needed is drillthrough.

This allows me to select 'Respondent ID' on one page and then easily jump to other pages, filtering on that selection.

Filtering the slicer with the visualization is an option - I did see a reference to that, before and will review it in more depth.

 

A better solution, if it's even possible, would be for the visualization to filter other visualizations across different pages of my report.  I know I can sync sliders across pages but it doesn't seem possible to edit interactions of visualizations across pages or sync them in any way.
