Hi, as far as I know, slicers do not support highlighting. That is not something they are meant for. To do this, you could perhaps insert a matrix visual (that you would make pop up (hide/appear) with a bookmark) to simply click and highlight data on other visuals, but the behavior would not be very stable I think...
Another option would be perhaps to look after a custom slicer. Perhaps some allow this behavior.
