You may want to check out Sideview Utils. You can either get the older 1.3 version free from Splunkbase, or get a 90 day trial of the new 2.0 version from the Sideview site.
As for what the benefit is here for this use case, the short short version is that it's a lot more intuitive. a) you wont have to use intentions, or think about intentions, and b) you can use the Redirector module to pass the clicked value from the first view to the second view, and you can use that $myClickedUponRowValue$ token in the second view however you want.
For the long version, I'd pull down the app, either the newer or the older version, and then open the app in your browser. You'll see it has tons of documentation and examples. You should read through all of it, but there are several pages about these areas -- linking from view to view, prepopulating UI elements in the target view, and using the Redirector and URLLoader modules.
