Interactivity within the same graph - ggvis

I have the following ggvis with shiny code, which produces 2 graphs with the mtcars data set that comes with R. In the first graph if I double click on a point, all the points with the same number of gear (mtcars$gear) within the 2nd graph turns into red. Motor cars can have 3, 4 or 5 gears. So, if I click on a point in the 1st graph, which has 3 gears, all the cars which have 3 gears turn into red points in the 2nd graph.

This is the server.R code-

library(ggvis)
library(dplyr)

mtcars$id <- seq_len(nrow(mtcars))


shinyServer(function(input, output, session) {

  lb <- linked_brush(keys = mtcars$id, "red")

  mtcars %>%
    ggvis(~mpg, ~wt) %>%
    layer_points(fill := lb$fill, fill.brush := "red") %>%
    lb$input() %>%
    set_options(width = 300, height = 300) %>%
    bind_shiny("plot1") # Very important!

  # A subset of mtcars, of only the selected points
  selected <- lb$selected
  mtcars_selected <- reactive({
    mtcars[selected(), ]
  })

  mtcars_selected1 <- reactive({
    print(mtcars[mtcars$gear == mtcars[selected(), ]$gear, ])
  })

  vis <- reactive({ 
    mtcars %>%
    ggvis(~mpg, ~wt) %>%
    layer_points()  %>%
    add_data(mtcars_selected1) %>%
    layer_points(fill := "#dd3333") %>%
    set_options(width = 300, height = 300)
  })

  vis %>% bind_shiny("plot2")
})

This is the ui.R code -

library(ggvis)

shinyUI(bootstrapPage(
  ggvisOutput("plot1"),
  ggvisOutput("plot2")
))

My question is, is it possible to do this in the same graph ? That is I want to click on a point and all the points with the same number of gears will turn into red in the same graph. I have googled it for a long time and I cant seem to find any direction. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can add another layer in the first plot that will add the points that have the same gears as the selected points:

  mtcars %>%
    ggvis(~mpg, ~wt) %>%
    layer_points(fill := lb$fill, fill.brush := "red") %>%
    lb$input() %>%
    set_options(width = 300, height = 300) %>%
    #the next line will add red points that have the same gear as the ones selected
    layer_points(fill := "red", data = reactive(mtcars[mtcars$gear %in% mtcars[lb$selected(),]$gear,])) %>%
    bind_shiny("plot1") # Very important!
