Clear framework selection on map extent change

I have configured a Web Experience to include a map, pie chart, and dynamic text boxes. The map widget is set to filter data records for the framework on extent change, and query by the current extent. The pie chart and dynamic text are linked to the same data source as is displayed in the map, so they update dynamically to represent only the data shown in the current extent as the user pans/zooms around the map widget. In the pie chart, I've enabled the selection tool so the user can click on a slice to highlight (select) records of that category in the map widget. 

 

The problem is that if a user selects a category by clicking that slice in the pie chart widget, and then pans/zooms in the map widget, the 'clear selection' button in the pie chart no longer works. This makes sense in a way, because the data being fed into the pie chart is now filtered by a different extent so the chart doesn't see the same selection, but it leaves the user without an obvious option to clear the selection! I do have a 'clear selection' button in the map widget which will work in this scenario, but it's not obvious to a lay user and adding text instruction to the app is not my first choice. 

 

It would be great if there was a way to trigger 'clear selection' on map extent change. I can't seem to find any way to configure this. I looked into creating a custom widget, but I don't have the necessary programming background to get that off the ground without significant effort. Does anyone know a no or low code workaround for this?
