Power BI bookmarks should also impact which visual is selected

Power BI bookmarks can be used to toggle the visibility of different visuals, but they do not toggle whether or not a visual is selected / deselected.

I think bookmarks should also capture a user's current selection, or should reset the selection pane so that no visuals are selected.


The lack of such a feature creates confusion when trying to use the 'Filters of this visual' section of the filters pane. If you select a chart, apply some filters, and then use a bookmark to hide the visual and reveal others, the filters pane does not update or reset and your selection is still the (now invisible) original chart. As a result, a user must re-click on a newly revealed visual to apply filters to it but this isn't obvious.
