Data Sources in a query can retrieve values from another data-source which is a source. Use the [In:source-name:attribute-name] syntax. So if you have a Value DataSource which has the Default-in with the data to filter, and a Module-in comes from the Module Settings, you would write [In:Module:Category] to filter by the the category as selected in the module settings.

Here's an example with the SQL DataSource:

• The SqlDataSource has a SQL statement with a [In:Mod:PortalId] token
• It's important that the connection containing the data is called Mod for this to work
• The data handed to it will contain the PortalId 1

And another example showing the older UI with the ValueSort DataSource:
