Add data exploration capabilities
Hi, I've used Highcharts in the past and love it! But right now I am looking for a charting framework that can let users explore the data by filtering it across the entire page.
An example of what I am looking for can be found on the dc.js main page, under the Examples section:
http://dc-js.github.io/dc.js/
When you click on a year's bubble, the rest of the charts on the page show only that year's data.
I would love to have this capability in Highcharts, is there any way to make this happen?

Sure, that’s what the API methods are for. For example, you add a click event listener to your bubbbles, and use it to do operations like xAxis.setExtremes, series.setData etc on all the other charts. See http://api.highcharts.com.

Understood. I suppose I was looking for that capability without having to invest a significant amount of time customizing clicks for all chart types. It would be even nicer if it could be full crossfilter support, but I didn't want to limit my request in case that was more complicated.
I realize that this functionality can be added manually given enough time and good design, as with almost anything written in javascript, but I would prefer it to be added by the Highcharts team, as it would almost certainly be better coded and tested than if I were to do it myself.
