ArcGIS Server with geometry property as source of layer

Tomde_Groot

I have for example this REST service for which I can use a query to get features within a certain geometry:

https://geoservices.rijkswaterstaat.nl/arcgis2/rest/services/GDR/vaarweginformatie/FeatureServer/29/query?where=1%3D1&objectIds=&time=&geometry=95958%2C486134%2C154329%2C581001&geometryType=esriGeometryEnvelope&inSR=28992&spatialRel=esriSpatialRelContains&distance=&units=esriSRUnit_Meter&relationParam=&outFields=*&returnGeometry=true&maxAllowableOffset=&geometryPrecision=&outSR=&gdbVersion=&returnDistinctValues=false&returnIdsOnly=false&returnCountOnly=false&returnExtentOnly=false&orderByFields=&groupByFieldsForStatistics=&outStatistics=&returnZ=false&returnM=false&multipatchOption=&resultOffset=&resultRecordCount=&f=html

This way I get 179 records. It would be very nice if I could use this URL as the source of a layer file. So the layer file requests the data within a geometry and shows in this case only the 179 records.

The only thing that is possible now, is to connect to the ArcGIS Server, add the data and create a layer file. The problem with this however, is that I get all the data (1231 records), while I only need the data within a certain area.

Since a definition query is stored as part of a layer file, it seems like if we had https://community.esri.com/ideas/1426 it might meet the need?
