      For the case where $lookup can be implemented using an hash lookup, a pipeline like

      db.tt.explain().aggregate([{$project: {time: 1, a: 1}},{$group: {_id: "$a"}},{$lookup: {from: "coll", localField: "a", foreignField:"n1", as: "blah"}}])
      

      (where 'tt' is a timeseries collection and 'coll' is the external collection), the plan is in the form

      [4] hash_lookup [s27 = addToArray(s12)] 
          outer s19 
              [4] nlj inner [s11] [s11] 
                  left 
                      [3] mkobj s11 [_id = s10] true false 
                      [3] group [s10] [] 
                      [3] project [s10 = (s8 ?: null)]

      This task would change the stage builder so that:
      1. the left branch of the first nlj stage (the one coming from processing the query solution node [3]) projects the block values rather than doing the block_to_row + mkobj
      2. the right branch of the same nlj uses the ApplyPipelineStage from SERVER-83974 to run the subpipeline on top of each item and organize the results in a new block value having the same number of items of the block values generated by the left branch

      The hash_lookup stage (modified by SERVER-83970) would at this point consume the inner branch as usual into a hash table, and recognize that the outer branch has produced block values and process its items, generating a block value holding the probed values in the matching positions
