Description
While decrypt allows me to extract sub-part of the document tree, I cannot do this with exec-file or exec-env.
Having ability to do this would be very useful.
I would expect something like the following to work:
sops exec-file --output-type json --extract '["server"]["privatekey"]' secrets.yaml "yarn start --private-key {}"

Research direction
Start by locating the exec-file and exec-env command entry points and how decrypt handles tree extraction. Check how the --output-type and command arguments are parsed, then define the behavior for the example path ["server"]["privatekey"]. Done means both commands support --extract consistently and the documented example works.
