Why do you want to use the json input for this instead of the query bar? `staus:open`

What version of Kibana are you using?

Thanks,

Filtering by clicking only works in certain charts but you should always be able to use the controls in the legend like I show in this gif.

First I click on a value in the legend. This opens the color panel and a `+` and `-` magnifying glass. If I click on the `+` icon it adds a filter for that `field:value`. I can toggle the filter. I can disable/enable the filter. And then I delete it.  
Then I also moused-over the value in the Pie Chart and clicked on it and added 2 filters. I can do the same actions with those.
