Widget events from another widget

In a Homepage, there’re 2 standard widgets that are configured as:

Widget #1 runs a transaction that list all Shipments.
Widget #2 runs a transaction that list all Deliveries.

Requirements:

When a user select/highlight a shipment record in widget # 1, then widget #2 only list deliveries that are associated to that Shipment number (linked by Delivery Number DLIX).

Is that doable?

** Tried to add DLIX to the user-defined (FRF6) field in User Data using Action, and filter in the Deliveries widget by that User-Defined field; but Deliveries widget only read the updated user data values if I refreshed the session even though it's updated in the database.

Is there a way to access session objects?

Yes I'm working with The m3 information viewer.

Found that the solution is within the configuration of the Widgets:
by linking the output from Shipments widget -> to the input of Deliveries widget using the "Entity Type" field

What widet are you using? The m3 information viewer? Unless this widget has some configuration to add a message to broadcast the context this is not something that you can achive. But the scenario is valid so you should add an enhancement request for sharing context.

Is it possible to receive more than one EntityType(s) in one Input SQRY (e.g. Buyer and Whlo for a PO)?
I have tried different combinations without success, the description "Entity Type" insinuates singular.
I would like to have this confirmed so I can rest my case
