I was trying to find a way to filter a feature table artifact so it only has the features from a sequence artifact. I couldn't find it by reading the plugin docs. However, reading the chimera tutorial I found that you can use a sequence artifact in the --m-metadata-file option of the qiime feature-table filter-features plugin to do it. The filter-features docs does not clearly say that this is possible and I think that it needs a clarification.
Hello @Daniel_Esteban_Palma,
I agree that the Filtering Data tutorial could use a section explaining that certain artifacts can be viewed as metadata and thus used as a filter. Would you like to open a GitHub issue for this on docs? If not, I can. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
