Store "Smart Query" as filter

We have an updating list of versions all of which can be found through the smart query v:4.1
However there is no way to store this smart query as a filter
We'd like to have an autoupdating list of issues that we have as a standard filter, e.g. if we add new versions in the form T 4.1 rev 7.001, T 4.1 rev 7.002 then we can find them using the smart filter v:4.1 but when we create a filter based on this, we have to have someone manually edit the filter every time a new test release is built (i.e. T version)
