Comments.Text: Could you please explain what you want to achieve in detail? Should every query have these additional selects? Do you need it only once? Do you need system wide queries? Do you only need those additions when you query or should other team members be able to attach them with `craft.entries` too?
  
  The most easiest way is to create a custom query class that extends the entries query and use that in your twig template. Thus you would do `craft.plugin.entries` to return a custom query class

  The "proper" way to access the element query that gets generated is through a plugin via the [ElementQuery's `query` and `subquery`](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/develop/src/elements/db/ElementQuery.php#L79-L85) properties.
  
  It looks like you're doing a Haversine algorithm to calculate distance between a latitude and longitude. There's are some similar plugins that already do this you can use as an example.
  
  For example: <https://github.com/ethercreative/simplemap/blob/v3/src/services/MapService.php>
