Description updates depending on visual?

Hi,

 

In my Power BI visualization, I created a parameter with multiple fields. Using this parameter, I then created a slicer that uses this parameter as a field. The slicer modifies a line and clustered column chart, allowing the visualization's x-axis to change based on the field selected from the slicer. My question is: is it possible to have it so that depending on the "variable" or "field" that the slicer has selected, the description of the visualization changes? For example, if the variable selected was "race", then the visualization would feature a racial demographic breakdown with a description, and if another variable was selected, the description would change accordingly (based on a preset description already written).
