Filter by Top N or ___

I'm pretty sure this isn't (easily) doable but looking for confirmation or ideas.

 

I'm working on a peer comparison dashboard - published data from other similar entities plus my own company. I'd like to set up a filter on visuals to show my company alongside the top 5 in a given category. In other words, filter by "Top five companies by sum of operating expenses OR CompanyName = MyCompany."

 

Top N filter? Easy. CompanyName = MyCompany? Easy. Putting them together... not seeing an easy way to do that, so any ideas or pointers (or just confirmation that it isn't possible) are very much appreciated.

I don't think this is possible with just the filter pane options but you can do pretty much any logic with a measure filter. Here's an example from another post:
