filter by parameter on detail setup

Hi,

I'm trying to display a maximum date column on a detail list, but need to filter the column by a different column.

For example: On the project page I have a detail for 'Participating schools'. I want to display for each participating school record the maximum of the [ account calendar ] [ start date ] (account calendar is a detail of the school) but want to filter to only semester equals the project's semester. 

I don't see a custom way to filter with a field on the detail setup, I can only filter with a value. 

Any idea how I can do 'semester = Project.semester'?

I'm happy to to also try some coding solutions, if you can tell me where I can find the detail setup code.

Thanks,

Chani
