My goal is to have two drop down widgets where the first one restricts the options available on the second one. For example I would have two drop down: one of Animal Species and the other of Animal Name. If I select 'Dog' under Animal Species I want the next, Animal Name drop down to display only dog names 'Lassie, Air Bud, Shiloh, etc'. I've looked and googled but still can't find what I thought would be a simple feature. I've tried replicating this manually by using 1-* and/or generalization - just to try everything. I'm still not able to replicate the functionality I'm looking for. What is the best practice for doing this? Or do I just have to build a microflow 'Selectable Objects' section in the reference selector... or would that even work?

There is a function for that, the constrained by for XPath:
Double click the reference selector to open its properties.
Set the data source for the reference selector to XPath
At the bottom of the popup, there is a constrained by
Make your selection carefully because Mendix will show many different option, you just need the one that makes sense
