Allow segment creation from filtered tables in Analysis Workspace

Description 

When using Analysis Workspace, one key workflow of my users is the creation of Segments from filtered Freeform tables. While we can use the super efficient workflow of right-clicking a selection of items from a table, we can't do the same with the summary row of a table:

However, being able to create Segments from those rows would be highly useful. Filters and breakdowns defined for those rows could automatically be used for the segment definition. In the screenshot above, right-clicking the Page row would produce a Segment like HIT(Page exists) as there is no filter used on that row. On the Entry Page row, which is a breakdown and has an advanced filter for contains "category" and "2", the Segment could be HIT(Page equals "articles" AND (Entry Page contains "category" AND Entry Page contains "2")).

This simple workflow would make it much quicker to build segments like this and free users from the tedious validation required after Segments have been built.

Why is this feature important to you

To make it easier and faster to create more complex Segments.

How would you like the feature to work

As described above

Current Behavior

Too many left-clicks, not enough right-clicking.
