Needless to say, this may not address all the issues faced by developers and there may be other ways also to address this requirement. So, as always, explore and learn....

Challenge:
Some of the functions that may be needed at ABAP CDS level, are only available as HANA DB functions (most common I have seen is STRING_AGG) and the way described earlier, to access such functions was to declare an internal TABLE_FUNCTION as described in the blog above.
Table functions may not be helpful all the time, especially if the parameters can't be passed in to the function.
Solution:
This solution only works for CDS based services. The solution implements virtual elements in a CDS View by using @ObjectModel.virtualElement annotation.
Here, the 2 virtual fields that are added to the view calculates Internal & External statuses of the Order object.
Class definition:
Execution:
When the CDS based service is called, SAP selects data from the CDS view first and then calls the exit classes to calculate additional fields. In the exit classes you may call additional methods and procedures to calculate the field and pass values back.
This allows the selection to be done based on any field on the view (except the virtual fields) and not just based on the parameters exposed like in case of a table function.
As mentioned above, This solution only works for CDS based services and not for ABAP selection (like general SELECT statements e.g., SE16N queries)
