Is it possible to reference the searches used on one dashboard for use in another?

Is it possible to reference the searches used on one dashboard for use in another?

Or would the search need to be saved first and referenced that way?

Example--
Dashboard 1:

<search id="FredsQuery">
 <query>index=flintstone yabbadabba=do</query>
</search>

Dashboard 2:

<search id="BarneysQuery" ref="Dashboard1\FredsQuery">
 </search>

It needs to be a Saved Search first
