Query Client Side layer

Current Query Layer Activity needs a URL or a Layer with URL to function. If a FeatureLayer doesn't have URL the activity doesn't work: 'url or layer input is required. layer must have a valid url property.'

Therefore Querying a layer which was created using the Shapefile upload function doesn't work using the  Query activity. 

I did it using the Expression activity and some JavaScript, but this makes the workflow hard to maintain for my coworkers who are not familiar with Javascript. 

Can you update the current Query Layer activity or create a new one to Query Featurelayers client side? 

Another advantage might be for layers which have a URL is that a client side query performs better without the roundtrip to the server.
