How to select wider set of data from the graph builder?

I'm working with data from multiple tests, ran on multiple devices. The tests produce different parameters and require different axes to plot and view.

I can create a graph builder plot for data from test 'A', and a separate one for test 'B'. There are times when I would like to be able to select a test result (highlight and drag) in plot 'A', and see the corresponding data in plot 'B' highlighted for the same device.

Data in both plots is continuous bivariate, plotted as a line. I already create a 'unique ID' column, to specify an individual test on an individual device, this is used in the overlay box to separate the plots within one graph.

The way I have to do it at the moment is to create another ID column, that identifies the device uniquely. Then I select the data in the graph I'm interested in, then I go to row editor and copy the value in the device ID column. I then do a row selection on this to select all rows for that device, then the data in the other graph is highlighted to see.

That isn't very convenient, I was wondering if there was an easy way to do it? As I see it, the graph builder platform needs something like a 'sub-overlay' category. Entering a column to it will select all rows matching the value in the data you just selected.

Re: How to select wider set of data from the graph builder?

That's not an adequate method for me. My actual data can have hundreds or thousands of devices. I'm also selecting data that I'm interested in by looking at the charts, I don't know what the device is, so this solution is the wrong way around.

@GRoberts86 try running the Graph Builder scripts in the attached example. Each of them now contains a button that I hope does what you want. Let me know how it works, please.
