How to execute a dynamic query in deskStructure every time in Sanity.io.

In the deskStructure, I have a `S.documentList('page').title('All Pages').filter(

_type == 'page' &amp;&amp; ${dynamicQuery()}

 call could change the query each time.

Is there any way to get the deskStructure to execute it every time, rather than caching ahead of time and running the same query? I can see that having in 

 executes every time, it'd be great if I could pipe that into the documentList. I'm trying to avoid a hacky solution that uses listenQuery and just ignores the response so that 

I've managed to find a way through creating an Observable, but it'd be great to know if there's a better way:



.child(new Observable((subscriber) =&gt; {
             subscriber.next(dynamicQuery())
            }).pipe(map((groqQuery) =&gt; {
                return S.documentList('page')
                  .title('All Pages')
                  .menuItems(S.documentTypeList('page').getMenuItems())
                  .filter(`_type == "page" &amp;&amp; ${groqQuery}`)
            })))

I've actually created an elegant solution from this. abstracting the Observable away from here, creating a wrapper `getDynamicQuery((query) =&gt; S.documentList('page').filter(

)` .

In my case, the dynamic query is based off of localStorage. So in 

window.addEventListener('storage', event =&gt; { ... })

 that loops through the callback array and calls 

 with the query based off of the updated storage value.

All open tabs then update when the value is changed, so there are no inconsistencies or confusing behaviour.
