### Issue

Hello,

I have to create a populate query that uses the `.distinct()` method on a specific field, however the option is not given by the API and the `.populate()` method doesn't return it's specific Query instance, but the model's Query instance.

I thought that I could call `.distinct()` in the populate Query's instance, but I don't have access to it.

There is a way to do that?

The issue names Mongoose's populate() and distinct() APIs but does not identify files or tests. Start by reviewing how populate queries are exposed and reproduce the behavior with Mongoose 6, Node.js 19, and MongoDB 6; done requires a decided API or documented answer for using distinct() within populate.
