Highlight Matrix Rows when Related Fields in other Visual Selected?

[fourmj]

Hello, I'm trying to solve a problem where I would like to highlight certain rows in a Matrix visual if related fields in other visuals on the same page are selected.

Here's a visual of what I have so far: 

I would like higlighting to occur on the "Text Comments" Matrix. By highlighting, it would be nice if the background color of the related rows was changed to yellow for as long as "New Plan" or "Original Plan" is selected (the Plan field is how the tables and matrices are connected). 

Here's what's happening right now:

The issue is that when I select "New Plan" in the table, the "New Plan" row in the matrix is given a Focus, but the other rows disappear, which isn't really what I want. I want the other rows to remain. Is that possible?

Here's a view of my data, if it helps:

I'd appreciate any insight on this situation. Thank you!

change the default behavior from cross filtering to cross highlighting.
