Comment:

 Hi @panbolec and welcome to Trac.

 These filters are designed to be used to provide `WP_Query` results
 directly from another data-source, such as from a cache (memcache) or from
 another query engine (elastic search, sphinx, etc). The two hooks
 mentioned by themselves are not solely responsible for that, and are AFAIK
 mostly the post-query save-in-cache variants.

 They're not designed to be used for "post data modifications", although
 you could attempt it (you'd also have to use a much later hook in
 conjunction with it I believe).

 It seems that you may be asking for a filter to allow `WP_Post` objects to
 be modified after querying, if that's the case, I'll redirect that to
 #12955
