Using a Dataview table to lookup and match properties in a note linked within properties?

What I’m trying to do

I have three note templates which there are many instances of [[Galaxy]], [[Planet]] and [[Organism]].

Each [[Organism]] has a property field defining which [[Planet]] it is attached to.
Each [[Planet]] has a property field defining which [[Galaxy]] it is attached to.

I would like to create a table on my [[Galaxy]] note listing all the organisms across the galaxy, but I can’t think how to do this without also defining which galaxy the organism is a member of?

I would like to be able to look at the Planet property on an Organism and check if that Planets Galaxy property field is a member of the Galaxy doing the lookup.

What I think a solution would look like?

On the [[Galaxy]] note.

TABLE WITHOUT ID
List_Organism as Organism
FROM #Organism
WHERE Property.Planets Parent.Galaxy == this.Galaxy
sort date DESC

Given Planet and Galaxy text properties (not list properties) that contain one link to the respective note, like:

---
Planet: "[[planet 1]]"
---

… this query in the galaxy note will list organisms in the galaxy:

```dataview
LIST
WHERE Planet.Galaxy = this.file.link
```

You wrote plural “Planets” and singular “Galaxy”, so I might have the wrong assumptions. If you can’t get it working, then what are your actual formats?
