One question for you: how do you think OBIEE is supposed to know that "State" coming from a Direct Database Request is the same as "State" coming from a subject area?
It's the job of the RPD to provides the metadata required to know that a column is the same in 2 different analysis and so an action link can send the values from one to another.
Writing a Direct Database Request you bypass the RPD, so you can't expect to get any RPD metadata related to the columns of your result.

Hi,
if two reports share the same subject area and the target report is filtered 'IsPrompted' then it should catch the prompt from the source.
if the situation is not as straight forward then you may have to find a way to bind the variable(s) (using presentation variables typically) and place an associated filter on your target, referencing it using the syntax {MyVariableNameHere}{DefaultValueHere} - this can get more complex if you need to pass numerous values.
Hope this helps,
Robert.
