You can't directly query local submissions. In ODK, we have a separate concept of Entities that can be created, updated and queried offline by forms in ODK Collect. If you have a person/place/thing to collect data about, you would generally save its important identifying characteristics to an Entity. You'd also generally save some status information to help guide a user through a workflow. You can learn more in the documentation. You can use the Ask AI feature in documentation to explore ideas relevant to your specific use case.
I see some references to Kobo in your attached document. Please note that although Kobo does use several ODK components, it's a separate project. As far as I know it does not have a way to query data created offline but you would have to ask them to be sure.
