This might be used for example to enable commandline querying such as with gc for finding uses of a contribution, which uses a query that embeds the local contribution URL, e.g. for gcm:
So there needs to be a way to specify the application (and project/component?) that will be searched for the configuration name, perhaps a prefix like rm: or gc:
And there needs to be syntax to delimit it.
A challenge with this for RM is that there's no way to search globally for configurations so have to open each project and scan all its configurations.
