NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding suggestion.
It should be possible to nest JQL function calls. At the moment there are no builtin JQL functions with which it would make sense to nest them but it would be helpful for custom JQL functions.
[Added 8 June 2023]:
the nesting feature doesn't have to do with using the filters function, but instead to allow nesting functions and queries.
An example would be:
issue in linkedIssues(myApproval("project in ABC"))

[JRACLOUD-21936] Allow nested JQL function calls
Even Jira's own AI supports this suggestion! It points to an addon (scriptrunner) but this really should be core functionality.
Please, please support referencing saved filters directly within another JQL query. The limits on this functionality is blocking my team from effective reporting and sprint planning.
use case:
issuetype = Epic AND "Parent Link" in (filter("FilterID"))
+1 We tie Epics to specific releases, so it would be good to view all child tasks for a particular release without having to mark each child task for the release.
Would not this affect other streams of income (plugins)? Maybe that is why Atlassian does not feel the need to rush it. 
I just checked the list of all feature requests here (https://jira.atlassian.com/issues/?jql=status%20not%20in%20(Closed%2C%20%22In%20Progress%22)%20ORDER%20BY%20votes%20DESC), and found that even if this issues has more than 800 votes, it is still only shown mid page 2 - I understand that nothing happened yet if there are so many issues with more interest of the users...
If we can mobilize more colleagues to vote here, to raise above 1000 votes, it will appear on page 1 of the results and may be considered for implementation finally.
If you remove the status filter it shows that the top issues are already completed - so it seems that Atlassian in fact is considering votes for prioritization.
