Possible for Image to Appear When Clicking Cell in Matrix?

Hello,

 

So I was wondering if it was possible to make an image appear when a certain cell is clicked within a matrix or table?  My example is that I am working with harvest data for farmers and in the matrix I have a column for the names of the farmer's fields.  When clicking one of those field names then the image of the yield map could appear, ideally within the same page of the report.  If this is not possible, what other creative options could I explore that I haven't thought of.

 

I did a lot of searching on options on trying to make an image appear when clicked or even link to an image.  I've included two screenshots of an idea of what I'm looking for.  Again, I'm open to suggestions.

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi @DrewInTheData 

I think that using bookmarks to switch the objects is the only possible solution.

If this matrix is static without sorting the buttons can be put on it directly.
Something like :

Thank you for your suggestion and the link to the video.  Since my matrix is static, I ended up just putting buttons next to each line that would then do the show/hide with the bookmarks.  Excellent suggestion.
