Querying by nested references values in mongodb / doctrine2 odm

Question

Hello ive got the following code:

        $primer = function($dm, $className, $fieldName, $ids, $hints) {
        $repository = $dm->getRepository($className);
        $qb = $repository->createQueryBuilder()
            ->field('id')->in($ids)
            ->field('images')->prime(true);
        $query = $qb->getQuery();
        $query->execute()->toArray();
    };

    $qb = $followRepo
        ->createQueryBuilder()
        ->field('isActive')->equals(true)
        ->field('target')->prime($primer)
        ->field('follower')->references($return['user'])
        ->field('target.$ref')->equals('boards')
        ->field('target.createdBy.type')->equals('user') // here i dont know how to handle this
        ->sort('created', 'desc')

Is it even possible in mongo to query via target.createdBy.type? target.createdBy is also ref.

Yes, it is possible to query on sub document properties using the dot notation, as per the official documentation . I am pretty sure it wont work with a referencing in 1 step though.
