Pass intersection values when drilling through by clicking on a value in a matrix

Question

I have two SSRS reports. One is acting as a source report and the other as a target report.
Both reports give information about "Customer Contact".
My source report contains one matrix with the following attributes:
Columns: Contact type (Email, Phone, Desk)
Rows: Employee function (Administrative, Manager)
Measure: Contact quantity
The source report has two parameters on 'Contact type' and 'Employee function'
My target report contains one matrix with the following attributes:
Columns: Customer name
Rows: Employee name
Measure: Contact quantity
The target report has two parameters on 'Contact type' and 'Employee function'
I am using [Action] from the [Textbox property] of 'Contact Quantity' to go to my target report.
What i want to achieve is the following:
Lets say i select All for both parameters when running my source report.
I get all the Contact types against all the Employee functions.
Now the intersection between 'Email' and 'Manager' is 27.
When i click on the value 27 in the matrix i want to go to my target report and pass trough Email and Manager so filtering can take place based on the intersection i clicked on in the source report.
What it does now is just pass the full parameter value selected from the prompts in source report. I want to narrow it down.
Any help? Thanks!

Hello Qiuyun,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I have managed to get the drilltrough from source to target working correctly by passing the field value. I first got it to work on a small test data set and it works fine. However when i used this method on my production reports the performance became very
bad. My first drilltrough took about 30 seconds instead of 2 seconds when i was passing the full parameter values. The next drilltrough gives back an out of memory error after quite some time (20 minutes +). 
One important thing to mention is that these reports run on an SSAS cube. I made the following changes to the setup to get the pass field value method working.
Initial setup: (Fast response)
1. I start of by creating a new report.
2. I select a the datasource (SSAS Cube) and i open the 'Query builder'.
3. I then drag the attributes i need from the cube to the query.
4. Afterwards i drag the attributes i want to use as parameters to the pane above the query and mark them as parameters. When finishing this step the parameters are automatically created in the design view (Report Data Pane) and within the data set of the
report. When running the report the available values for the parameter are displayed automatically.
5. Now i can run the report without having defined filters on the dataset. This setup performs very good but does not make it possible to pass trough field values.
New setup: (Very slow response)
1. I start of by creating a new report.
2. I select a the datasource (SSAS Cube) and i open the 'Query builder'.
3. I then drag the attributes i need from the cube to the query.
4. I DON'T drag any attributes to the above pane (Dimension, Hierarchy, Operator, Filter Expression, Parameter) to be marked as parameters, i just finish after dragging to the query pane.
5. Now i create my parameters manually in the design view (Report Data Pane).
6. If i want to populate the parameters i do this by defining a separate dataset (query) per parameter to populate the drop down box. Otherwise i manually enter a string.
7. I manually add the parameters to my dataset in the design view.
8. Last i add filters which indicate what fields need to be filterd based on which parameter value.
Any suggestions on how to get this working with acceptable performance?
Thanks in advance for your help.
