Enable Filtering in Views from Attributes of Linked Artifacts

We would like to be able to filter a view in the UI based on a value (or portion) of a linked artifact. Sorting would also be nice. The importance of this is that it's apparently possible in DOORS 9.6 & we keep getting bludgeoned by DOORS fans...
