Add tags/identifiers to query requests made to Cube.js

[BeautyFades]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Hi! I have a regular BI dashboard React application that uses Cube.js as it's backend query layer. There are dozens of visualizations in this BI application, and each one of them dispatches one or more requests to our Cube backend. It would be really useful to be able to tag each of the dozen+ queries so it becomes much easier to track down and handle different queries on the backend.

Say "one of the queries" or even "all queries that fetch data from a specific table" have to bypass the regular security rules defined in queryRewrite. The only way I found to do that is literally check if the stringified version of the query contains a very specific set of dimensions/measures/filters, and bypass adding filters to it in queryRewrite if the criteria is met, which sounds like a VERY bad and ugly workaround, as other queries can have similar or identical structures, but maybe come from different components in my frontend application.

Describe the solution you'd like Be able to pass along an extra context or tag parameter to the query object when making a request to Cube.js. This parameter is then easily accessible in the cube.js or cube.py file, and I can handle edge cases with simple if statements.

A sample query object could be (POST this to your <DOMAIN>/cubejs-api/v1/load with proper headers and this request body):

{
"query": {
    "measures": [
        "myCube.count"
        ],
    "dimensions": [
        "myCube.someField"
    ],
    // New context/tag/metadata object
    "context": {
        "someTag": "ThisQueryWasTriggeredByXYZComponent",
        "someOtherTag": "SomeOtherValue",
    }}
}

Then in my cube.js or cube.py file, I can do something like this:

function applySecurityContextToQuery(query, securityContext) {
    console.log(query['context']['someTag']) // Outputs: ThisQueryWasTriggeredByXYZComponent

    if (query['context']['someTag'] == 'ThisQueryWasTriggeredByXYZComponent') {
        // Do something here is query has this specific tag. The user has control over what is done so warn them to be careful.
        // Let's remove one of the filters in this example:
        query.filters = query.filters.filter(
            filter => filter.member !== "someCube.someField"
        );
}

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently my checks are done by literally stringifying the received query and checking for specific patterns in the dimension and measure fields. Conditionals are triggered based on that. You can imagine the mess.

Additional context No further context is needed.

Anyone ever faced this? How did you solve it?
