You can just use another tag as your parameter and do a query in your query tag like this:

```auto
SELECT *
FROM yourTable
WHERE yourID= {[.]AnotherTag}

```

Make sure to set your datatype to dataset if you need more that one row/column from the query.

Their are a few variations:

- Vision/Perspective
- where did you create the query?
- where are you calling the query from.?

Good news is it can be done.... 🙂
