Just a side comment: I wouldn't use a literal parameter to store the value of what button was pressed. The literal parameter is shared with all your users and you will run into a problem where one user session overwrites the parameter value while another user session will eventually read the updated value but it doesn't reflect what the user should be seeing.
A workaround would be to setup a runtime parameter that you then save to the dashboard parameter dictionary (i.e. args.LoadDashboardTaskInfo.CustomSubstVarsFromPriorRun in LoadDashboard section and args.SelectionChangedTaskInfo.CustomSubstVars in ComponentSelectionChanged section).
Also that db_pdx said: have you tried "Tabs"

That makes good sense, I hadn't thought of it - thank you! I'll try that workaround if needed, but I'm going to try tabs first.
Can you provide a simple example of how to use these?
