### What are you really trying to do?

uniform way of querying archived and hot workflows

### Describe the bug

` temporal workflow list -q 'WorkflowType = "MyWorkflowType"' -n mynamespace`

works

i expected

` temporal workflow list -q 'WorkflowType = "MyWorkflowType"' -n mynamespace --archived`

to work,but it fails with error

_ **“failed listing workflows: unknown filter name: WorkflowType”** _

but this works

`temporal workflow list -q 'WorkflowTypeName = "MyWorkflowType"' -n mynamespace --archived`
