Filter existing matrix by clicking item in matrix

Good day. I have built a dashboard that has a simple matrix table. I have added slicers to filter the data. That all works perfectly. My table has 6 columns, one named Items. Here is an Excel mock up of the table:

I have a dropdown slicer for the Items column and if I select Item 3 the table is filtered to only show those that have Item 3 associated with them as follows (notice Combo 00002_0002 has been filtered out):

What I would like to do is perform this same function but instead of having to use the dropdown slicer, I want the filter to occur if the person using the dashboard clicks Item 3 anywhere in the matrix itself. 

I dabbled with "Edit Interactions" a bit but that doesn't seem to be the correct path in this case. 

Is this even possible? 

Thanks.
