Hot Chocolate

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently, HotChocolate names the query convention result types by the field.

I have several fields in different parts of the hierarchy with the same name, and I need to use query conventions for both.

The solution you'd like

The ability to override the query convention result type name per field using an attribute, just like overriding the result type name for mutation conventions or the connection name for pagination.

Research direction

Review the query conventions implementation and compare it with the existing mutation-convention result-name and pagination connection-name overrides. Define the per-field attribute behavior so fields with the same name can produce distinct query convention result types, then add coverage demonstrating both an override and the default naming behavior.
