 I am not sure if this is enhancement or feature request .[[BR]]

 wordpress allows us to change / filter  queries with various methods , for
 example the pre_get_posts(). ( e.g.  $query->set ($args) ).

 But in today´s wp ecosystem, there are so many themes, plugins, widgets
 etc. that modify the query or add custom queries, that it had become very
 difficult to target a specific query, where The available conditions might
 not be enough. (is_admin, is_main_query etc.. )

 The suggestion here is to add an identifier (ID or specific NAME) to a
 query , much like with textdomains or actions.

 In this manner, targeting a query becomes a breeze something along the
 lines of
 {{{
 #!php
 $query->set($query_id_or_name,$args)
 }}}

 Each developer has struggled one time or another with custom queries and
 with targeting 3rd party queries .
 This feature / enhancement could potentially change all that by allowing a
 simple way to address custom queries .
