Currently I think that's the best you can do. You may be interested in
defining a predefined query

notmuch config query.fromtojohn "to:john@example.tld OR from:john@example.tld"

then you can use

+john +friend -- tag:new AND (to:john@example.tld OR from:john@example.tld) query:fromtojohn

Hypothetically it would be possible to extend the query: syntax to
support parameters, but I'm not sure it's worth the extra complexity.
