Allow :file parameter in org-ql dynamic blocks
As I said in #151, this probably needs to wait for #228.
As well, this feature would need tests, including ones that verify that potentially dangerous sexps are not evaluated somewhere in the process of handling the arguments.
this Implements has a problem: it generate wrong headline link
Can you elaborate?

I see what you meant now. Should be fixed, though links may still be wrong for Org buffers without file. Not sure what can be done in the last scenario when the user also does not use org-id.
Hi,
May I ask what is preventing this PR to be merged? ended here searching precisely about using the dynamic block across org-agenda-files
I work on these projects in my spare time, which I don't have as much of as I used to. If you would like to sponsor work on a particular feature, let me know.

I understand. I was mostly asking about feedback on the last comment in this PR to see if I could continue @yantar92 's work (or if my, currently very limited, Elisp is not yet enough for it).
For anyone wanting this feature:
(require 'org-ql-search)
(cl-defun org-dblock-write:my-org-ql (params)
"Insert content for org-ql dynamic block at point according to PARAMS.
Valid parameters include:
:scope The scope to consider for the Org QL query. This can
be one of the following:
`buffer' the current buffer
`org-agenda-files' all agenda files
`org-directory' all org files
`(\"path\" ...)' list of buffer names or file paths
`all' all agenda files, and org-mode buffers
:query An Org QL query expression in either sexp or string
form.
:columns A list of columns, including `heading', `todo',
`property',`priority',`deadline',`scheduled',`closed'.
Each column may also be specified as a list with the
second element being a header string. For example,
to abbreviate the priority column: (priority \"P\").
For certain columns, like `property', arguments may
be passed by specifying the column type itself as a
list. For example, to display a column showing the
values of a property named \"milestone\", with the
header being abbreviated to \"M\":
((property \"milestone\") \"M\").
:sort One or a list of Org QL sorting methods
(see `org-ql-select').
:take Optionally take a number of results from the front (a
positive number) or the end (a negative number) of
the results.
:ts-format Optional format string used to format
timestamp-based columns.
For example, an org-ql dynamic block header could look like:
#+BEGIN: org-ql :query (todo \"UNDERWAY\") :columns (priority todo heading) :sort (priority date) :ts-format \"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M\""
(-let* (((&plist :scope :query :columns :sort :ts-format :take) params)
(query (cl-etypecase query
(string (org-ql--query-string-to-sexp query))
(list ;; SAFETY: Query is in sexp form: ask for confirmation, because it could contain arbitrary code.
(org-ql--ask-unsafe-query query)
query)))

(t (user-error "Unknown scope '%s'" scope))))
;; MAYBE: Custom column functions.

seems to work for me (which is basically diff of this pr pasted into current code). use with my-org-ql instead of org-ql dynamic block.
For my personal version I also patched it to have heading truncate after 70 chars.
It would be nice if the parameter accepted a function that returns a list of files. See scope parameter in org-dblock-write:clocktable.
I don't know. I'll have to review it when I have time.

*patiently waiting for this feature* :+1: :medal_sports: :see_no_evil:
[I added (require 'org-ql-search) to my previous code block]
Thanks @hrehfeld that elisp in https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql/pull/239#issuecomment-1213052966 works for me.
I made a small change so that it accepts a function name like clocktables.
((string-equal scope "org-directory") (org-ql-search-directories-files))
+ ((functionp scope) (funcall scope)) ; Call the function if scope is a function
(t (user-error "Unknown scope '%s'" scope))))
Anyway, I am stoked about finding this.
