Description

### Bug description

Currently, dashboard visuals support cross-filtering only within the same tab and not across tabs. Users cannot select a chart data point or metric and have the corresponding detail tab update automatically, requiring manual navigation and reapplying filters.
###
**Expected Behavior**
Enable Cross-filtering functionality from any visual to its respective detail tab.
Maintain context and filters when navigating between tabs.

**TAB 1**

**TAB 2**

**When a user selects Genre = Sports on a chart in one tab, all rows related to Sports should automatically be filtered and displayed in the detailed report on the other tab.**

Image

### **Actual Behavior**
Cross-filtering works only within the same tab. Detailed reports in other tabs do not update based on the selected chart data point in the current tab.

### **Impact**
Users must manually add filters in other tabs for the same chart data points.
For charts with multiple categories, this can require adding numerous filters, increasing effort and time.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Superset 6.0.0 with a dashboard containing a chart and a detail report on separate tabs. Trace the existing same-tab cross-filter flow from a chart selection, then verify that selecting Genre = Sports updates the detail report while preserving context and filters across tabs.
