Description
Description
Currently, the `load_related()` host function only works with `derivedFrom` fields. We could use the same function for loading childs in a more explicit way instead of looping and loading each one by one.
Are you aware of any blockers that must be resolved before implementing this feature? If so, which? Link to any relevant GitHub issues.
The PR #4434 must be merged before this is a valid request.

Research direction
Start by reviewing PR #4434, which the issue identifies as a prerequisite, then trace the load_related host function and its current derivedFrom-only behavior. Confirm the intended direct Child[] loading semantics and consider the work complete when load_related supports that explicit child-loading path without per-child looping.
