You are feeling correct. This theoretical construction would be a 
Question as Object, and has frequently been discussed as being not correct:

[chay' veSDuj'a' vIghajlaH?] - DaH 'e' boyajchoH

The problem is that in english (and many other languages), the question 
words can function as relative pronouns, like "I know why you are here" 
"I see what you did". That does not work in Klingon.

At least that's the latest information I know.
