It would be nice to have some sort of auto generation of argument dict for named query.

What I envision..

Say you have a named query with Parameters (myX, myY, myZ)  
When you right click and select "Query Script" right now you can just copy path  
it puts in clipboard something like  
("pathToQuery",{'myX':myx, 'myY':myY, 'myZ':myZ})

which you can then paste into a script  
runNamedQuery(PasteHERE)

Does the refinement of this general concept I described here fit what you're looking for?

Edit: Actually, this one's better:

yeah, just about anything to avoid having to go back and forth between windows. / copy paste one thing at a time because the worst thing is having a query call fail to work as intended because you have 7 parameters and one of them has a misspelling in the dictionary parameters.

Have you learned about floating your project library scripts? (Right click on their tabs.)

that helps, but still prefer an auto type fill.
