Pick Existing Value Filter on Obsidian Dynamic Data Block

Core

The new Obsidian grid has the ability to allow filtering from a list of existing values for a column. And example of this would be the Obsidian Gallery List block's list of Connection Statuses:

There isn't currently a way to filter values like this in the Dynamic Data block. This would be helpful in situations where there would only be a few values that you'd like to search by. For example, I was asked create a report of our student night attendees with the city they live in. It would be a much better user experience if the students could be filtered from a list of cities like this instead of having to type out the text value in an "Equals" or "Contains" box.
