Header selection is dropped once line is selected

I have two tables on one page (header and line).

I have relationship between them (id header = id header in line).

 

When i select header then i see only line related with this header. After this i try to select line (related with selected header) then i lost header selection and view all header and all line.

 

How i can fix this? select header -> view line -> select line -> don't lose header selection.

 

I have tried to use "edit interactions" functions, but this doesn't help.

@Anonymous , You can make the first one as a slicer, then you will not lose the selection

 

or try to select the second one with ctrl plus click and check

For example:

I select Header Id = 2 and view only related lines:

Select line with Header = 2 and Line = 5:

and now i view all lines. But i don't want to lose header selection when i select line.

I have tried single and both filter direction and edit interactions. But it doesn't help
