Allow saving a new query to overwrite an existing query of the same name

When working in queries, I often set up queries which i need to save temporarily but may not need ot keep the query long-term. When doing this my typical MO is to name the query "Delete me" so I can use it now and then know it can be deleted later.

When working in database view, when I try to save a query with a name that already exists in the system, I get a prompt telling me there is already a query with that name and it asks me if I want to overwrite the existing query with the new one. Then I have the optoin to select Yes to overwrite the existing query or No cancel and choose a different name for the new query.

In web view when I try to save a new query with the name of a query that already exists I get a prompt saying the query name must be unique and no other options. Then I have to pick a different name and hope the next one I pick is unique.

It would be great if the web view query save would work in the same way as the database view query save and give a prompt/warning asking if I want to overwrite the existing query instead of forcing me to pick a new, unique name for the new query.
