XF 2.2 How to use filterer not on finder() want on select

[TheSkullKid]

Is it possible to create a filterer like in the demo pad videos, but not to be assigned to a finder, want to use it more on a select statement.
Would be great to get an example for that.

Not really, the filterer system is built around finders. Unless you have a good reason to use plain queries, it's generally preferable to work with finders/entities anyway.

Thanks for your answer @Jeremy P
If I find a way to use the finder to get all threads with specific attachments and the corresponding attachment information I would change it.

A bit inefficient maybe, but you can always grab the IDs using a regular query and then do the rest using finders/entities.

A bit inefficient maybe,

I tried to use relations but this seems not to work,need to do some further checks and tests I guess
