Previous studies have mainly examined vector-similar solutions in low-dimensional nonlinear systems; however, emerging applications increasingly demand distinct higher dimensional localized structures across coupled components. We address this need by studying a (3 + 1)-dimensional harmonically trapped partially nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger system. By developing a transformation that renders the nonautonomous system autonomous, we obtain analytical dark–bright–dark rogue wave pair approximate solutions. These three-component solutions demonstrate rich excitation dynamics, manifesting as complete, tail, peak, and initial profiles of the rogue wave pairs, enabling controlled generation of successive excited states. Our approach provides a powerful method for creating coupled but distinct localized structures in multi-component higher dimensional nonlinear systems, with promising applications in nonlinear optics and Bose–Einstein condensates.
