I believe that it is a pretty common situation when looking at a large number of trendlines (perhaps you have 50 tools all running the same process and are comparing defectivity vs. tool) that you'd want to be able to highlight a specific trend. The natural way of doing this is by selecting the trend in the legend, but this only emphasizes the points, not the lines. I've created a custom script that does this and I believe this is what the OP is asking about. Below is a comparison of my solution vs. a standard Row Legend behavior on some fake data.
The second plot here (the default behavior) is mostly useless w/re to comparing anything about the trendlines
JMP provides all the tool necessary to do this -- Spline Eval, Spline Coef, and handlers to the TableBox object to re-draw the lines when the legend selection is updated, but it can be a bit of a chore to setup initially.
