Is there a way to filter by category and year

I need to filter the posts by a term from a taxonomy and by a given year.
Since there is no “year” options, I tried to build the right WP query

$args = array( 
    'category_name' => 'cniv0',  //(string) - use category slug (NOT name).
    'post_type' => 'post',       // - a post.
    'post_status' => 'publish',  // - a published post or page.
    'posts_per_page' => -1,      //(int) - number of post to show per page (available with Version 2.1). Use 'posts_per_page'=-1 to show all posts. 

    //////Order & Orderby Parameters - Sort retrieved posts.
    'order' => 'DESC',          //(string) - Designates the ascending or descending order of the 'orderby' parameter. Defaultto 'DESC'.
    'orderby' => 'date',        //(string) - Sort retrieved posts by parameter. Defaults to 'date'.

    //////Time Parameters - Show posts associated with a certain time period.
    'year' => 2022
);

$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

and to display the results using get_the_a_z_listing( $the_query );

	// The Loop
	if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
		$a_z_query = get_the_a_z_listing( $the_query );

		echo '<div id="' . $a_z_query->the_instance_id() . '" class="az-listing">';
		echo '  <div class="az-letters-wrap">';
		echo '    <div class="az-letters">' . $a_z_query->the_letters() . '</div>';
		echo '  </div>';
		if ( $a_z_query->have_letters() ) {
			echo '  <div class="items-outer">';
			echo '    <div class="items-inner">';

			while ( $a_z_query->have_letters() ) {
				$a_z_query->the_letter();
...

but I got some php error . So, I presume I badly used the plugin interface

Is it possible to transform the WP Query result to a a_z_query, in order to be able to use the different functions the_instance_id(), the_letters(), have_letters(), get_the_letter_items_count(), the_letter_title(), have_items(), the_item(), the_permalink() and the_title() ?

Otherwise is there is any plan to add a year parameter to the shorcode a-z-listing ?

Thanks.
