Could the feature be the ability to apply bulk actions to Data Explorer results, similar to the way admins can apply bulk actions to a topic list? The options for queries that return users could be things like:
- send a PM
- add to group
- remove from group
- grant badge
These are tasks that can be performed now by copying the results of a query into a PM’s recipient input, or a group’s Add to Group form, or by downloading a query’s results as a CSV file and uploading the CSV file to the Badge bulk award form. Being able to perform the actions directly on the query results would streamline things a bit.
For queries that return topics, the options could be similar to what’s available now in the topic bulk actions modal.
Possibly I’m getting too far away from what the OP is asking for here.
