ApiServer: Configure service categories and products to display

Question

I need a way to configure the displaying of service categories and products based on a customized query. In the old WebDesigner you had these great configurable options for this: 
 VI_ITShop_Filter_AccProductGroup (Products to display for a given recipient) VI_ITShop_Filter_AccProductGroupMultiUser (Products to display for a given list of recipients) VI_ITShop_Filter_AccProduct (Displayed service categories) VI_ITShop_Filter_AccProductMultiUser (Displayed service categories for a group of users) 
 In the new ApiServer I cannot find these configuration options externally (via the admin portal) The queries for displaying service items and categories seem to be hard coded in the standard API plugins. 
 Why are these configuration options missing on the API server? Are they planned for a future release, if so 9.3? What would be a work-around strategy to accomplish this given the current 9.2 version?

I guess we'll need to code it, although it does not seem to be hardcoded. Let's take the case of the service categories. This is implemented as a GET portal/shop/categories (see new-request-product.component.ts) that returns a list of service categories for a given, comma separated, uid_Person list. It would also take a filter . 
 Now, and in that I agree, the filter configuration is far from being a normal string with an sql expression such as those we used in the configurable options for the old web designer, like VI_ITShop_Filter_AccProduct . I would appreciate if one of the experts could give us a hint on how we could set up a filter and how the Expression and FilterType.Expression elements work , so we can create our own config keys in the admin portal and use them in our code.
