Apply filter only on clipped bitmap in Inkscape

Question

I would like to apply a filter in Inkscape only on the clipped part of an object.
I want to apply a filter only on part of a bitmap (shown here as a white square). Typically, I use Set Clip to select the part I care about. However, when I apply e.g. Dark and Glow after setting the clip, it uses the original object as the source.
How can I apply the filter on the clipped selection? Can this be done with clipping? Or is there another way of cropping in Inkscape?

Inkscape has very limited bitmap image editing tools. But you can apply Edit > Make a Bitmap Copy to your clipped bitmap image. The result hopefully gets SVG effects in the wanted way.
You must set in preferences high enough create bitmap resolution before making one:
