View a histogram of slices matching a query

I love the feature of viewing a histogram for slices of the same name:

I want to be able to generate the same thing, but for slices that match an arbitrary filter.

As far as I can tell, this is not possible. I even tried using the Data Explorer visual interface, but the "Histogram" chart type doesn't show any data:

Is this a bug with the Data Explorer?

Start with the Data Explorer and its Histogram chart type, then trace how arbitrary filters are applied to slices. Confirm the existing same-name slice histogram behavior and determine what is missing for filtered slices; done means a matching histogram renders for an arbitrary filter or the limitation is clearly resolved.
