Hello!

You could e.g. do that using an IronPyton script (or by applying a bookmark, if that suits your use case). For IronPython scripts, you can find many examples in the IronPython scripting in Spotfire page here in the community: https://community.spotfire.com/s/article/IronPython-Scripting-in-TIBCO-Spotfire

-- for filtering, see the Filtering and Marking section

-- see https://community.spotfire.com/s/article/How-to-get-or-set-a-specific-filter-using-IronPython-script-in-TIBCO-Spotfire for an example of setting a specific filter.

General workflow:

(0. Create a Text Area)

1. Edit HTML

2. Insert Action Control

3. Select "Script" and Control Type: Link

4. Implement your IronPython Script

5. Do the styling you want of your link (e.g. so it looks like a button) 

There is a Dr. Spotfire session - Create Fancy and Stylish Buttons in Spotfire - on this general topic:
