Is it possible to add a custom property to a work item that will display workitem query results?

I realize I can add a links tab and a links section and create parent<-> child linkages and the list of child work items will show in the parent links section. I really need  to see those children along with a set of their attributes - in much the same format as you get from query results. To get that list I can run a work item query but it would be nice to be able to add an attribute to a custom work item that when "selected" would execute a query and display the results right within the work item being worked on.
