Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Since dig is not shipped anymore with OPNsense, the only DNS utility for CLI is drill. In the version shipped (1.7.0 with OPNsense 24.1.1-amd64), the user has to manually parse the output of the command to get the record value. There is not +short option available like in dig.
Describe the solution you like
Versions of drill > 1.8.0 have a -Q flag to reduce the output to the value of the queried record.

This binary could be upgraded in order to provide this functionality.
Describe alternatives you considered
None as drill already offers an option in its latest release.
