Description
It's not uncommon that conferences/journals ask for an abstract as a submission, so treating it as a single child document of a paper can be quite helpful. This can be achieved by using two Lua filters: include-files.lua and abstract-to-meta.lua. I believe work is already under way to support child documents natively. Would it be possible to also add native support for abstract-to-meta?

Research direction
Start by reading the existing include-files.lua and abstract-to-meta.lua filters to understand the current workaround. Then inspect the native child-document work mentioned in the issue and determine where abstract-to-meta behavior belongs. Done means abstract child documents can provide the paper abstract without requiring the separate filter.
