Using references on embedded document field

[MatTheCat]

Q	A
New Feature	yes
RFC	no
BC Break	no

The query builder should allow queries like

->field('memberships.organization')->references($organization)

Currently I'm forced to know how the reference is stored and then write

->field('memberships.organization')->equals(new \MongoId($organization->getMongoId()))

This is because Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Query\Expr::getReferenceMapping only checks field mapping.

I was pretty sure we had a similar request in the past but as I can't find I'm gonna keep this open. Scheduling for 2.x, but if @MatTheCat you'd like to tackle this yourself it might find a way into 1.3 :)

I did a quick search but couldn't find anything. As I have a workaround and little time I don't think I'll be able to help 😕

You were thinking of #1723, which dealt with a similar issue but without the references call: #1723 (comment)

Thanks @alcaeus 👴
