I only want to call the download endpoint on clicking download button. and I don't need the functionality to cache and auto refetch. something like

const {query} = useQuery()
fun onclick = async () => {
    const data = await query(resourceLocation)
}

const {query} = useQuery()
fun onclick = async () => {
    const data = await query(resourceLocation)
}

Is that recommended? I think it does not matter as long as it gets the work done

Yeah since it seems like you don't want it to fetch once link exists right?

Here is how you would do it if you want it to be like "once link exist fetch the data" for the future Glad it helped!

have used this before, easy and useful

const { data } = useQuery({ id: id_or_undef }, {
  enabled: !!id_or_undef
})

const { data } = useQuery({ id: id_or_undef }, {
  enabled: !!id_or_undef
})
