All field handlers that provide things like links do not want to do anything to affect the views query. So the current 'API' for this is just overriding the query() method and leaving it empty, so the parent does not get called. It would be nicer to make this explicit, like click sort is declared.
Additionally, other Views plugins need to be able to determine whether or not a field handler influences the query, since those plugins might rely on the fact that the field handler adds one or more fields to the query. See #2401953: Database exception for View with Combined field filter with fields with no query alias → for an example of this scenario.
Add an isComputed() method to FieldPluginBase, this would default to false. Handlers could then either add 'computed' to the views data implementation using the handler or just overriding the method. The base query method can then check this property.
