SAC Hyperlink Filter Inheritance Between Two Stories Using Different Models

The goal: Allow a user to browse and filter an Overview story which is using its own model.
Once the user has filtered for relevant information in Overview story, user will use table hyperlink to direct to a detailed Ledger story containing more in-depth information and is using a secondary model. This Ledger story will inherit the filters from Overview story.

Example: User filters Overview to only show data from 2023 and WBS elements equal to "T"
Using hyperlink the user navigates to Ledger which is inheriting filters and is now filtered to only show 2023 data and WBS elements equal to "T".

Trouble: It does not seem possible to create this. In my first attempt I had two stories where the dimension names and dimension technical names were not equal and the inherited filters from Overview story, while being present, had no effect on Ledger story.
Second attempt I found two models which shared the same dimension name and the same dimension technical name. I used these two models to test. The inherited filters from Overview story, while being present, still had no effect on Ledger story.
The following was my Hyperlink settings.

Any suggestions as to how I could reach the goal behavior?
Is it not possible to inherit filters between two different models, even if the name and technical name are the exact same?

Using "NavigationUtils.openStory()" and a lot of logic to build the input parameters, I was able to create the wanted behaviour. Although with some limitations, since this function is essentially a fancy way of building a hyperlink and hyperlinks have a max character length of 2048.
