Show node with details from nodeData of other node

Hi,
I have node based on a complex node data structure. The node template displays only some of the available data.
Now I would like to click on some panel of the node and add a separate “detail” node to the diagram which displays a table with the detail information.

Let’s take this node for example:

The Products "p1 and “p2” are actually a more complex structure with additional properties in the nodeData, something like this:

{
	"parameterGroups": [
		{
			"parameters": [
				{
					"class": "Product",
					"value": 32
				},
				{
					"class": "InitialStock",
					"value": 0
				},
				{
					"class": "CarrierCapacityProduct",
					"value": 1
				}
			]
		},
		{
			"parameters": [
				{
					"class": "InitialStock",
					"value": 0
				},
				{
					"class": "CarrierCapacityProduct",
					"value": -1
				},
				{
					"class": "Product",
					"value": 39
				}
			]
		}
	]
}

Now, if the user clicks on the p1/p2 table row, I would like to display a separate node (permanently, so no adornment) with a table structure displaying the additional attributes. (Similar to the comments example).

With my current knowledge, I would copy the parameterGroups array to the new node when the row has been clicked. However, that means I would duplicate the data, and each time the data in the original node changes, I would also need to update the data in the detail node.

Is there any way to avoid copying the data? Or some other approach to handle this situation?
