Working with static queries outside "src" folder

[gauravsaini]

Hi there,
Is there a way to use the static queries outside of the src folder .
I can see that src folder is hardcoded in here but lots of project do require more flexible directory structure

gatsby/packages/gatsby/src/query/query-compiler.js

Line 122 in 5636389

path.join(base, `src`),
