PowerBI recently added M Parameter, I appreciate the Purpose of it, is to support Big Data Workload, as the users needs to control exactly the Query sent to the Data Source.
but one side effect of this features is we can do a lot of new interactive features that was either hard to do or simply impossible, see Chris blog here https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2020/10/25/why-im-excited-about-dynamic-m-parameters-in-power-bi/

Currently, to change the value of a parameter you need a slicer, in preference using a disconnected Table as in order not to generate extra filter in the source data.

What I am asking here; is to have a new Interaction option in any standard visualization, instead of filtering or highlighting other Viz, when the user click on a viz, it will automatically change the value of the Parameter.
