So, in a more general term, we are talking about creating some sort of
filtering / query system for a bulk get. But rather then just
channelId, why not expose every parameter. So, if I want to see all
the up channels, I just pass state=up or specific channel types
name=SIP.  Personally, I think it gets complicated fast, and not sure
that's what the issue you are trying to solve is.

I think the bigger issue is trying to determine if the channel lives
in stasis or not. I think the way to get around that, is add a new
field to channel call stasis (boolean), and just toggle true or false.
