Hello, Superset community!

I'm representing the OpenLMIS community (https://openlmis.org/). OpenLMIS is an 
e-health logistics management system that allows tracking commodity levels and 
supports re-ordering in a way that helps reduce waste and prevent stockouts. 
Superset plays an important role in our stack since the visualization of stock 
data to key users helps them analyze it from multiple angles and make better 
stocking decisions.

We have recently launched OpenLMIS in Cameroon, and it turns out that one of 
the most pressing issues they have with the system is not being able to use 
cascading filters with Superset reports (e.g. select a district filter, and 
limit facilities filter to those facilities that are within the selected 
district. The best to our knowledge, this is currently not possible with 
Superset.

We've found a few issues on GitHub that seem to be related to this feature 
request:
 - https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/10013
 - https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/10688
 - https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/10285

but unfortunately, it doesn't seem like we are seeing any of the above soon. 
The best estimate I've seen is from the last link, and it mentions 1-2 years, 
which obviously doesn't work for us. 

Considering the above, I wonder if you have any suggestions or possible 
workarounds for our scenario. Perhaps we are missing something obvious and we 
could use cascading filters in a way I described? If not, are there any 
workarounds? Perhaps anything we could do on our side to speed up the feature 
request? 

Thank you,
Sebastian
