Create rhandsontable after clicking on the value of another rhandsontable in a shiny app

shiny

I have a shiny app with 2 rhandsontables.

#ui.r
navbarPage(
  "Application",
  tabPanel("General",
           sidebarLayout(

             sidebarPanel(
              ),

             mainPanel(
               rHandsontableOutput("hot3"),
               br(),
               rHandsontableOutput("hot5")
             )
           )))
#server.r
library(shiny)

server <- function(input, output,session) {

  output$hot3 <-renderRHandsontable({
    DF = data.frame(Sel. = rep(TRUE,2),
                    Label=paste("Test",as.integer(1:2)),
                    Marg=rep("Marg1",2),
                    Avail.=as.integer(rep.int(50,2)),
                    Sel =as.integer(rep.int(50,2)),
                    stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
    rhandsontable(DF,width =500,height = 400)
  })
    output$hot5 <-renderRHandsontable({
      DF = data.frame(
        Sel= rep(TRUE, 50),
        Id= 1:50,
        Label=paste("Item",as.integer(1:50)),
        Pf=as.integer(rep.int(0,50)),
        stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
      rhandsontable(DF,width =500,height = 400)
    })


}

What I want is when I click on the first table on the column "Test 1" to create a second table with as many rows as the number of column" Avail". That means,for example, that when I will change this number from 50 to 40 I will have a new table with 40 rows. Alternatively, if there is no ability to create the 2nd table after clicking on "Test 1" I would like at least to be able to change the number of rows of the 2nd table by changing the number of "Avail".
