How do I query all edges of a face?

I would like to create a query variable to select all edges that form a particular face of a body. I can select the face manually, but not the edges themselves since they change according to parameters. How do I achieve this? Thanks.

In FeatureScript you would use a qAdjacent, but it looks like that is not an option in the query variable feature.
But with the magic of custom features, you can also make your own query variable features - here is a super basic one that does only this.

Sounds like an opportunity for an improvement request to add qAdjacent to regular query variables.

Along with the all the other unsupported queries.
Theres a lot of really useful queries that non-featurescripters don't know about.
Like qLargest, qWithinRadius, qCoincidesWithPlane, qInFrontofPlane, I could go on…

Y'know I was just saying the other week how I wished someone would pick up the torch of the Query Explorer and implement all the modern queries. Now I think Query Explorer's features should be ported to Query Variable in addition to adding support for all the modern queries.
"loop/chain connected" should do what you're after @forsaken_candy
