Ability to set shape data via conditional formatting or actions

I have a application eco-system diagram that contains all of our IT applications currently in use. This is a data driven diagram and each shape represents an application on the diagram. When you select a shape/application, I want the description of that application to show in a “text shape” at the bottom of the page.

In order to accomplish this, I need a way to set the “text shape” data to represent the shape/application that was selected. The way i felt this could be accomplished is to set an “action” on the shape/application being selected and use conditional formatting using a formula to specifically SET the “text shape” data to the description of the shape/application.

Currently, in order to accomplish this function, I have created a layer for each application and use the show/hide functionality to display the description. This becomes somewhat unmanageable when I add new application as I need to add the “show/hide” functionality to all of the previously defined actions.
