Hello,

There is a JQL funciton in the out of the box Jira called

linkedIssues(issueKey)
https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracorecloud/advanced-searching-functions-reference-765593719.html

You would need to provide an issue key for this function, that is why it is not too much flexible. But if it fulfils your requirements, then you can use it.

If you want a more flexible solution you would need a plugin for it. For example, you can use the JQL Extensions for Jira:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214791/jql-search-extensions-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

Your JQL query would look like this:

issue in allIssuesInEpic("fixVersion = 1.0 AND project = SEARCH")

The advantage is that you can select required epics by a JQL query. You do not have to provide an issue key.

You can find more info here:
