Description
Use case
I need to search by user ID, but the system has several similar fields like userID, userId, user_id, user.id, context.user.id. Since it's unclear which one is correct, I have to create a query with all possible options, one by one, which is inconvenient.
Proposed solution
Allow selecting multiple fields, similar to how variables work in Grafana dashboards:
So users would type "user" and click on "Selected" button to choose all existing fields that contain user inside. This should be transformed into (userID: 1234 or user_id: 1234 or user.id: 1234 or ....) and <reset of the query>

Research direction
Start by locating the query builder and its field-selection controls in the repository, then compare their behavior with the variable-selection interaction described for Grafana dashboards. Done means users can select every matching field for a term and the builder produces an OR group combined with the rest of the query.
