There is not an interaction like that with interactive slice intersections, but you can try the “Reformat” widget which has controls to change the rotation of selected slice views from the module panel.

Instead, you can [rotate slice views](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/user_interface.html#slice-views) by displaying slice intersections and then: use Ctrl + Alt + Left-click-and-drag using your mouse, or pinch-and-rotate on touchscreen (on Windows) or on the touchpad (on macOS), or or define the desired orientation using a transform and then use “Volume reslice driver” module in SlicerIGT extension to show orthogonal slices There are specialized modules for…
