How can a dependent query be entered in KQL? Pseudocoded: ``` location.keyword : "Detroit" // auto.keyword: // Show only automakers in Detroit ``` Now, the second part selects ALL automakers in the database. I want to limit the scope of the second piece based on the first. Similar to a "Parent Control" in an "Options List" for a "Controls" visualization--except in KQL. Ty, Keith :^) ---

Hey @kmiklas, this isn't currently possible. Can you open up a [feature request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md) so we can track adding this functionality? ---
