Query specific type policy

[DaniloNovakovic]

Hello guys.

We are trying to remove deprecated updateQuery usages in our application, however we are running into one issue which is that sometimes we have need to re-use same query but have different keyArgs for example depending on the place of usage.

So for example:
Page A - Wants to have first argument field as keyArg
Page B - Doesn't want to have first argument as field in keyArgs.

So what I was thinking is that it would be really cool if we could have "query" specific type policy.

Meaning for example:

useQuery(Document, {
   typePolicies: {
      ....   // type policies that would be local for this specific query
   }
}

Wondering if something like this makes sense?

Extra info: The reason why I brought it up is that you marked updateQuery as deprecated, meanwhile, to my knowledge, you haven't really provided a proper alternative to the "component/call specific" merging solution that updateQuery offered :P

Sure I could define typePolicies in my root component, but I don't see a way to handle nieche scenarios where I want certain components / parts of my app to merge data to cache (or read data from the cache) differently then the rest aside from something like having separate cache instance, making my own local caching solution for that component, or something similar

Turns out updateQuery is no longer deprecated so I am closing this comment
