SSRS Action - Go To Report/Cascading Parameter

Question

I have a question to determine if something is possible.

I have a report where the user enters in a client number into the parameter. This parameter is not loaded with available values because the number of unique client numbers is too large. After they enter a client number, they receive a list of that client's matters. Some clients have hundreds of matters.

What I want is for the user to be able to click on a matter and have it take them to a second report, the go to feature, that shows them additional details about that one matter they clicked on. Is that something that's possible? I don't want the user to have to input a matter from a list of values on that second go-to report, so maybe it's possible to have a cascading parameter in the second one that's hidden from the user but auto-populates based on what they clicked?

I'm still trying to get cascading parameters to even work for me, but I'm not even sure where to begin researching what I want to do here. Any guidance on what to look for would he super helpful, or let me know if it's not possible.

Thanks!

Rough guidelines:

create a report that accepts the matter number as a parameter on the textbox/cell in the original report that the users will be clicking, right click on it and select properties, set action to go to report, and then select the new report and pass the value of matter id to the new report parameter
