I was able to find SFO - DOH J and DOH - AUH - India J options separately.

I cannot get SFO - DOH - AUH to show available with QR in 2nd segment. However, I am able to see IAD - DOH - AUH. Only difference is the IAD departing flight has 8hr layover departing same day whereas SFO departing flight has 20 hour layover departing next day.

I can understand website always don't show these but a supervisor couldn't do it as well. I ended up holding SFO - DOH online and then supervisor adding DOH - AUH - India segments in EY metal.

I want QR metal in DOH-AUH to use AM lounge and additional 3 hours in DOH.

Are there any tricks to achieve what I wanted?
I don't know any tricks beyond what you've already done. But you'll have AS lounge in DOH if on QR metal since AUH is marketed as First. AM is the business lounge.
