Complex Query Parts (LPS-86596), by default, narrow down results from the main Query (LPS-98297).

For certain use cases (LPS-92782), there is instead a need to append an extra set of results to the ones returned by the main Query.

A new "additive" modifier will be added to the Complex Query Part Builder to enable this alternative behavior for selected parts, while other parts without the modifier will still operate under the default behavior.
