No, no way to do that, they are identical.

You can get access to the QUERY_STRING, though, in a UserTag, and
posit this.

UserTag is_from_query Order name
UserTag is_from_query Routine <<EOR
sub {
	my $name = shift;
	my $re = qr/^$name=/;
	my @pairs = split($Global::UrlSplittor, $CGI::query_string);
	for(@pairs) {
		next unless $_ =~ $re;
		return 1;
	}
	return 0;
}
EOR

At that point, you can do:

	[if term="[is_from_query foo]"]
		From query.
	[/if]

Of course if it is set multiple times, once in the query string
and once in the post, it will give a false positive.

Few blame themselves until they have exhausted all other possibilities.
