URL search parameters: can you make `field:Host` include non-specific matches?

I made a Feature Request for this a few months back: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/searching-observations-with-this-field-and-value-for-fields-that-use-a-taxon-as-the-datatype-should-show-children-taxa/51902

There is no way to do it short of searching every taxa manually (or maybe API stuff and programming, but that’s beyond me). This is fine for small taxa where there’s only a few, but in something complicated (say, the American oaks you expected to find, where you’d have to check each species, complex, subsection) it’s a pain.
