Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always frustrated with the option of either to have plugin's result in global result or to have action keyword based trigger. Why can't we have both, option to have it in global results or not and to have plugin specific queries using action keyword.
Flow Launcher : You can have it in global result but you will not be able to filter it using action keyword when needed.
God: You can be the most knowledgeable being in the universe, but you will no longer be "living".
I would like to have the results in global results for quick and simple search, but I would also like to have a keyword based option to isolate a specific plugin specific result (just like a filter).

Describe the solution you'd like

It's very simple, just add a checkbox to giving the users a option to include a plugin's result in global results or not, in addition to having a keyword to have plugin specific results when needed.
It's so so so simple to implement, you don't even need the plugin developers to follow up. Just implement it as such that every plugin has this checkbox by default no plugin modification necessary, just like all have a action keyword, and flow launcher will show the results in global results if checked.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No Alternate.

Additional context

Check out how PowerToys for inspiration.
I want to switch to Flow Launcher because of it diverse plugin support but it feels lacking because of such small but very useful features.
