QUERY: is selfserving google feature. But you can probably do it in libreoffice in a way that is less google-selfserving and more portable, by using a macro/script that fetches content.

I don't understand how QUERY is a "selfserving google feature". It allows you to write queries over spreadsheet data using a variant of SQL. Anybody else could implement the same idea.
