How do you close a query that's inside the main panel?

Stupid newbie question. Preparing to face-palm.

I can't figure out how to close a query outputted to the main content panel. I would have thought that I could just add a close operation to the panel like with a form. The only solution I can think of is a popup, but I don't want that.

I had requested this before but no response. The only way is to open up a tab page and put the results in tab, so user can close the tab. I wish a query result would have a "Close" button".

..in the meanwhile, the workarounds are:
have a 'Close' button on the query which runs a process which:

uses DISPLAY LAYOUT to display a blank layout in the panel , which will overwrite the query
runs another query which returns no records (criteria 'ID=0') and has everything turned off so the query borders, etc. don't display, which will overwrite the query
...and, more a pure solution than a workaround:
3 .uses EXEC SCRIPT to delete the contents in the panel (after finding it), which I think is something like this:
EXEC_SCRIPT 'AwareApp.closeComponent(parser.m_widgetInfo,false,false);'
