Can I have an element "render only when filtered", regardless of which filter is applied?

Hi, does anyone know if I can make a Dashboard element render only when filtered, without defining WHICH filer needs to be applied? I have species data in a list, with multiple list entries for each species. I only want data entries to appear for one species at a time. So, I have a species selector for the list element, and the list only renders when a single species selection is made. 

However, here's what I want to do: I want to be able to link to the dashboard with a given species already selected (for example, interested in X species? --> link to dashboard, where filter for X species will be automatically applied, therefore showing list entries for X species on loading). I'm trying to do this with URL parameters, with a category parameter that filters the list. However, it doesn't work if the list has "render only when filtered" for either the URL parameter or the species selector. 

I want the list to render when EITHER a URL parameter OR the species selector is acting as a filter.

Maybe I just don't know how URL parameters truly work? or it's just not possible? Would love to know if I'm missing something or if anyone has a workaround to achieve this goal!!! Thank you!!

On second thought, the URL parameter isn't working even without "render only when filtered"... Not sure what I'm doing wrong

Sorry, JK, the parameter is working, the original issue with "render only when filtered" still stands
