 I have a unique situation where my entire network is a big CMS with one
 site being the "admin" site, of which the users have access to view all
 the information from all the sites on the network.

 Instead of looping through each blog/site for the same query, I would love
 to question if there's any possibility to do a global query?

 The only solution I have deduced is that I need to create / maintain a
 custom table or tables that basically stores at minimum the post ID, blog
 ID, and post_type. I am trying not to isolate this enhancement to my own
 project. I am aware this method does nothing to support WP_Query in any
 way.

 So on that note, how about something to modify WP_Query to accept a
 'blog_id' parameter that allows for 'any' as an option as well (similar to
 how WP_Query handles 'post_type' => 'any'.

 I'm sure this had been thought of before, but unsure how that'd look. Blog
 looping seems quite inefficient.
