Solution:

There isn't such a built-in feature within Views plugin, it needs custom codes, for example, you can setup some dropdown menu manually as the screenshot you mentioned above, use them to pass URL parameter to your view, then use Views filter hook "wpv_filter_query" to trigger a PHP function

In this PHP function, get the URL parameters, change the views query to what you want according to the URL parameter values
