Hey! I decided to try and use GROQ in my svelte project and have hit a roadblock. I don’t understand how to correctly query for an unknown referenced document.
I’m successfully querying blocks that use references (->) but I’m trying to do the same for a mark / link. If I console log the link currently it is only fetching

{_key: "452dec4de1a3", _ref: "29e3b314-6983-46ce-8c3e-1d968ab74d22", _type: "linkInternal"}

Oh and my query:
* [_type == "post"
&& route.slug.current == $post_slug
&& taxonomy.category->.route.slug.current == $category_slug
][0]{
...,
richcontent[]{
		...,

		_type == 'embedBook' => {
			...,
			book->
		},
		_type == 'embedPattern' => {
			...,
			pattern->
		},
		_type == 'embedPost' => {
			...,
			post->
		},
		_type == 'embedProfile' => {
			...,
			list[]->
		}
	}
}

I believe it might be
* [_type == "post"
&& route.slug.current == $post_slug
&& taxonomy.category->.route.slug.current == $category_slug
][0]{
...,
richcontent[]{
		...,
		markDefs[]{
		  _type == "linkInternal" => @->
		},
		_type == 'embedBook' => {
			...,
			book->
		},
		_type == 'embedPattern' => {
			...,
			pattern->
		},
		_type == 'embedPost' => {
			...,
			post->
		},
		_type == 'embedProfile' => {
			...,
			list[]->
		}
	}
}
As per this example

Thank you! After a bit of tweaking I think I got it working. This helped.
