Use Case

Query/search link sharing is currently only available in the web version of BFF, not in desktop. You can copy the shareable link on desktop, but there's nowhere to import/paste it in the app. This slows down usage of desktop-only tools for our internal users. Use case from Caroline:

I'm looking to open some files from BFF in Zen using a link to a pre-sorted query...
If I use the web browser version, I can't see how to open in Zen, but I can open in Zen from the desktop app. (Am I missing something? Is tehre a way to do it from the browser after all?)
I have a link to a search query, which I can just paste into my browser and see BFF sorted as I like, but I don't know how to do that in the desktop version.

Suggest a Solution

Would be nice to allow users to paste/share queries from web to desktop and between desktop apps.
Possibly as an option in Add new query or elsewhere in the query sidebar?
