How to Pass Filters Across Views with Different Data Models

I'm working on a dashboard where I have a risk analysis view with multiple risk areas. Each risk area has a "Deep Dive" button that takes users to a detailed view for further investigation.

The challenge: The detail view is built from a different data model, so I can't use the standard "Open linked view" feature which would normally sync filters automatically.

What I want to happen:

  1. User selects a customer in the main risk view
  2. User clicks the "Deep Dive" button for a specific risk area
  3. The detail view opens and is automatically filtered to show data only for that selected customer
  4. The customer context flows seamlessly between the two views

Currently, the Deep Dive button just opens the detail view without any customer filter applied, so users have to manually select the customer again.

Has anyone solved a similar issue? How did you handle passing filter values between views built on separate data models? Any tips or recommended approaches would be appreciated.

Thanks!
