I am looking to either develop my own/find a visual that can dynamically regenerate/update based on a user selection.
For context, the goal is simply to create a visual that lists a matrix of initial values (for example, a set of values that have a "-01" suffix) where a user can click on any of them that will then regenerate/update the visual with elements that have both the selected -01 suffix and the secondary -02 suffix, etc. for up to x amount of suffixes (basically recursive in a way).
Considerations:
Methods originally considered but are not scalable:
Quick sketch of the principle I am looking to achieve below:
From a 3x2 grid (adjustable/dynamic based on total values found and total size of the visual), user selects the + icon of the INTRO-01 box, which then leads to the next image, where its a subset of all the values under the INTRO-01 tag that are not the initial entry (for example, the act of clicking that element appends something that will now show anything that has a INTRO-01 tag AND the next set of tags). This can then keep incrementing as needed (depth and how many times this occurs would be manually built, up the amount of elements in the visual can dynamically change based on the data).
Initial Page
Selecting INTRO-01, regenerates and shows this instead (same visual type and format)
Ideally this kind of visual is something that already exists somewhere, and if not, has capability within the developer API where I can build this kind of visual with its behavior myself. I have searched for this kind of behavior on the forums but most posts have not quite fulfilled the conditions I want or are using tables with values rather than something like this, which doesnt work as I had hoped. Some threads even mention this may not be possible, but those were relatively old so perhaps this kind of visual/behavior may have been added in since?
Any tips or help would be appreciated.
