Proposed functionality

Proposing to extend the functionality of the object selection inputs (ObjectVar and MultiObjectVar) in scripts to be able to filter the selection in the same fashion that's available in the create/edit forms.

I might suggest adding the optional parameters selector (boolean with a default of False) and query_params (dictionary) to both ObjectVar and MultiObjectVar classes so that it matches the form parameters. selector=True would show the filter button, and the query_params dictionary to be used to apply the initial filtering.

Use case

Our NetBox instance relies on a few scripts to assist in creating items. Currently we use separate inputs to control filtering (similar to the old behavior of NetBox). Adding the optional filtering would improve the user experience in the same way filtering improved the user experience when using the create/edit forms.
