Queries improvment : "Backlink objects does not include" missing operator

Hi,

I would like to know if adding a new operator based on the Backlink objects option for queries is possible ?

This operator would be does not include, for now just include exists (see attached).

Use case example :

For tasks, in order to make my inbox "smarter" I would like to create a query that does something like "All tasks that are not linked with an area or a project". These tasks could already have a context that is not empty (like a person, so not an area nor a project) so the Backlink object counts = 0 does not work here.

This would permit better flexibility for maintenance of a PKM I would say.

Thanks for outlining the use case so clearly. Based on the current documentation, queries only support “Backlink objects” as an inclusion filter, not a “does not include” operator: https://docs.capacities.io/reference/queries#filter-by-backlinks-filter-by-contextThis is not supported right now, but your example with tasks, areas, and projects is a valid scenario for such an operator.
