However, technically you don't need an RI to do filter based forwarding as you can make the filter send to either an interface or an IP as its next hop...
Filter-based forwarding (FBF), which is also called Policy Based Routing (PBR), provides a a simple but powerful way to route IP traffic to different interfaces on the basis of Layer-3 or Layer-4 parameters.
FBF works by using match conditions in a firewall filter to select certain traffic and then direct it to a given routing instance that points to the desired next hop. To ensure the next hop is resolvable, interface routes from the main routing table are shared via RIB group with the routing table(s) specified in the routing instance(s).
Match conditions can include the source or destination IP address, source or destination port, IP protocol, DSCP value, TCP flag, ICMP type, and packet length.

To configure filter-based forwarding, perform the following tasks:
Create a match filter on the ingress device. To specify a match filter, include the filter filter-name statement at the [edit firewall] hierarchy level. A packet that passes through the filter is compared against a set of rules to classify it and to determine its membership in a set. Once classified, the packet is forwarded to a routing table specified in the accept action in the filter description language. The routing table then forwards the packet to the next hop that corresponds to the destination address entry in the table.
Create routing instances that specify the routing table(s) to which a packet is forwarded, and the destination to which the packet is forwarded at the [edit routing-instances] hierarchy level.
