Description

For example
If you had 100+ favourite artists and wanted to download their works -
you could add a parent tag to all of them and search as a nested query instead of doing it for each individually.

A nested query would yield and append results of its child tags in a single downloader page, potentially merging its results.

Could come in a form of cog context menu option something like:
'Add current query as a nested query of its child tags'

Research direction

Start by reviewing how nested queries, child tags, and downloader pages are currently represented, then inspect the cog context-menu actions mentioned in the request. Done should support adding a parent tag as a nested query of its child tags and yielding or merging their results in one downloader page.
