For a context aware dashboard, we want to be able to filter on lower-level objects/models from a higher-level model. Now, we have to create a query per hierarchy level (e.g., a query for objects that are one level lower, a queryfor objects that are two levels lower, etc.). When we want to edit something in these queries, we now have to edit it in several different places. Supporting hierarchies for dashboard links would allow us to have one query, and therefor only one place to make changes.
Of course we understand that in the table template we would have to specify which level in hierarchy we would like to represent, but this should be doable using a function that uses a starting point (beginning/end) and an offset.

Slightly different Use Case, but same root problem.
I have a query that works for a single model as a start point and that I CAN generate a dashboard link for. I effectively created a copy of this query and modified it so I can start the query at a Group level and it will query All Models in that Group and All the Models of All the Sub-Groups. The query works great, but I CANNOT Generate a Dashboard Link for this Hierarchical Query.
We NEED this Function/Feature as the other way to accomplish what is required is very time consuming, obviously not very efficient, difficult to maintain and error prone.
