Rewriting using query args?

Server NGINX

Is it possible to rewrite url using query args? I mean rewriting sth
like
/get_file?file=bleh.zip
to
/download/bleh.zip
?

I tried the naive solution, but it seems rewrite regexps does not have
access to query args at all…

I asked stupid question so I will answer it myself.

Sth like

    if ( $args ~ file=(.*)\.zip ) {
       set $file $1;
       rewrite ^/get_file /download/$1 redirect;
       break;
    }

Yes. An extrbal redirect

 location = /get_file {
     if ( $args ~ file=(.*)\.zip ) {
         set  $file  $1;
         rewrite ^   /download/$1   redirect;
     }

     return  404;
 }

or internal redirect:

 location = /get_file {
     if ( $args ~ file=(.*\.zip) ) {
         set  $file  $1;
         rewrite ^   /download/$1   last;
     }

     return  404;
 }

 location /download {
     root  ...
 }
