It's quite easy to do that with code, but I don't think we're
exposing that feature through the UI in any way right now.  Would
be an interesting feature to add in the near term.

Hmm.. you could try to use export relations to prolog with
"smart query --format=prolog --show-all" and then do the query
with prolog, but that's for the brave. ;-)
