The namespace "Virtual" will look for its configuration in the user's home directory:

namespace {
  location = virtual:~/mdbox/virtual
  prefix = Virtual/
  separator = /
}

Inside the ~/mdbox/virtual directory the actual query is defined in directory 'Flagged' (that will show up in the MUA as sub-dir). The actual search/query is defined in file 'dovecot-virtual' which will create the "magic": 

$ cat virtual/Flagged/dovecot-virtual 
*
Public/*
  flagged

Another example, the one I used in the original reply, is 'gluing' together archives as a single view:

$ cat virtual/Postfix-Users/dovecot-virtual 
Public/Archive/Mailing-Lists/Postfix-Users/*
Public/Mailing-Lists/Postfix-Users
  all
