Is there a way to use a value provided by an aggregation to make another layer of filtering?

I'm making a standard query that search the incidence of terms in two fields, and wish to show only the docs whose `_score` is above or equal the average that I can get in the aggs.

[Top hits](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-metrics-top-hits-aggregation.html) aggregation might be of use
