What does "dynamically generated" mean? Are you asking to create
virtual mailboxes via your mail client? If so - then there's no native
method.

The examples I gave will indeed give you virtual "folders" which
respectively contain ALL your flagged (regardless of seen status),
unseen (regardless of flagged status), or only unseen flagged messages
from all folders. And they will auto-update.

Virtual mailboxes are defined per user - so indeed the examples I gave
will only exist for the user(s) that have such files and will only
apply to their folders.
