Hi,
Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here.
Out of the box both scenarios you describe maybe possible, but we do not have any features to support it.
Unfortunately, that puts it into customization territory and we are unable to provide support on that per our terms and conditions.
If you think that is something you would like as a feature I encourage you to visit our User Voice Page and either upvote an existing request or make a new request there.

Another option might be to use the new feature in 4.0 that enables you to filter bar Pro’s Additional Fields:
Configuring Filter Bar
Maybe you could use that to create a connect?
Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
Thanks
