You'd have to write a work item query which picks up all those work items somehow. Perhaps they all have a particular "Planned For" period? Or perhaps you write a script which goes through all those work items and sets a tag such as 'in_snapshot_x', then write a work item query to find work items with that tag?
Otherwise there's no way to do this (work item code does not know anything about scm snapshots...)

yes, i have logic to get the workitems from the snapshot. Now my query is,
we are seeing 100+ workitems.In UI, i can build query with id's of workitems with or condition. How can i do the same behaviour programmatically?
i would like to have,
OR
id -1001
OR
id -1002
But when with below code i get when i see in UI,
id -1001,1002,1003
which results in exception because it reached max length
code:
      Term queryTermOperator = new Term(Term.Operator.OR);
      for (IWorkItemHandle eachWI : workItems) {
          IWorkItem workItem = auditableCommon.resolveAuditable(eachWI, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, null);
          queryTermOperator.add(new AttributeExpression(idAttribute, AttributeOperation.EQUALS, workItem.getId()));
        }

Could you please help here

error which we have got is below,
com.ibm.team.repository.common.validation.PropertyConstraintException: Validation errors for item: type = QueryDescriptor, itemId = [UUID _4QPacBmyEemRA9oS-YkAFQ]
        Value of attribute "internalExpression" is 100022 bytes, which is greater than the allowed encoded length of 32768 bytes.

I'm not on the Work Items team, so I can't help you here.
I suspect you won't be able to create a query with that many expressions.
(maybe build up multiple work item queries?)
