I have a document such as:

{_id: ObjectId("512fe1e5b9912a714eef4e54"),
items: [

{type:'test', name:'my first object'}

,

{type:'test', name:'my second object'}

]}

Basically i need to list all the names in my items array something similar to:

db.log.findOne({_id:ObjectId("512fe1e5b9912a714eef4e54")},{'items.$':{name:1}});

Is there another way to do it ? Or is it even planned/discussed somewhere ?
