You just need to add a slicer to completely remove the other items from the visual. You can't do it using the legend in the visual: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Filtering-by-Legend/td-p/300393
You can use SELECTEDVALUE to create a dynamic slicer to filter to whatever is selected in the visual Check out the links below for help on this:

Choose A in series

A, B and C are different columns. I can only add one column to the slice, even so it looks like this:
Below is a representation of the columns:
Not sure about your replay. You wanted a dotted line in the area or something else. The same option is applicable if they are different columns
