No, requesting a request is how you do it. There are other ways you could secure data, but they are all kludgey and will not be as direct as QoQ.
One of the capabilities of QoQ (the so-called in-memory queries) is that it can be used for a query returned by any tag that returns a query object, such as CFDIRECTORY and CFPOP.
For people interested in how to execute a Query query, this is simple:
<cfquery name="resortQuery" dbtype="query">
SELECT *
FROM myQueryFromSomewhereElse
WHERE
COLUMN_NAME=<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value="#myFilterValue#" />
ORDER BY
SOME_OTHER_COLUMN_NAME ASC
</cfquery>
