Research direction

Start at the QueryFilter API and its defining filter expression entry point. Determine how an overload accepting a derived DbContext type should identify context references for runtime capture and injection; done means the overload removes ambiguity about updated references and avoids requiring callers to pass a context variable outside the DbContext class.

Description

area-query

If the lambda expression is taking derived DbContext type as parameter then it becomes easier for us to identify which are the source of context we need to capture and inject at runtime. It also avoids ambiguity on customer side that which references will be updated and which will not be. It also reduces need on user side to pass around context variable to configure the filter outside of DbContext class.
