Description

Hello, is it possible to dive deeper in a where filter?

For example (this is assigned inside a loop over the blocks):
{% assign filtered_array = main_array | where: 'settings.category', 'category-1' %}

Thanks

Research direction

The request concerns the where filter and nested values such as settings.category. Locate the filter implementation and its existing tests, then determine the expected behavior for nested properties and add coverage for the provided example. Done means the filter can match the nested category value without breaking current where behavior.
