new Query Variable FeatureScript

I couldn't figure out how to create a query variable (or set thereof) to select all the relevant parting edges for a draft feature, so I created a Custom feature for it.
feel free to use it (link above).
If any body knows how this could have been done with e.g @Derek_Van_Allen_BD's queryVariable(+) feature, let me know. That'll help me get more out of query variables in the future.
@Derek_Van_Allen_BD : I couldn't think of a way to implement this well in the regular UI of a query Variable, so I just made a short simple new one… perhaps you can?
internally, it does a qTangentFaces for each seedFace, then a qAdjacent(edge, edge) for each face found. then it looks for duplicate entries and removes those from the query to only get the outer edges….
then optionally filters with edges or edges of faces (also found with qAdjacent(edge,edge).
best,
Jelte
