Search for files on GitHub, where the repo has more than X stars

Is it possible to search GitHub for a particular filename AND restrict results to repos with some number of stars? I want to find all repositories that have a wepack.config.json file with 100+ stars.

You can search for a particular file name like so:

filename:webpack.config.json

And you can search for repos with some number of stars like so:

stars:>100

But there doesn't seem to be a way to combine the syntax to limit file searches.

You would need a GitHub BigQuery in order to effectively combine the two search criteria.
However, as the OP Don P adds in the comments:

It looks like there is no dataset for repos.

Another approach would be using a GitHub GraphQL query, looking for:
