Hi all!

Please I would like to see query teamplates to be reusable on any query like this

```auto
{
  "template_search": {
    "params": { ....... these params will be used by defaults, child params supercedes this ones ..... },
    "query": { "id": "some_query_template", "params": { ... } },
    "_source": { "id": "some_source_template", "params": { ... } },
    "aggs": { "id": "some_aggs_template", "params": { ... } }
  }
}

```

Where only "query" section of some\_template\_name will be used.

Same feature could apply for any \_search section like \_source, aggs, etc

It would help developers and administrators to manage less templates and avoid duplicate templates just for small differences

Your best option is to create a new Feature Request issue on GitHub - [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/)
