Weird, I just came here to ask how to do the same from within a filter:
{
      name: "extras",
      title: "Extras",
      type: "array",
      of: [
        {
          type: "reference",
          to: {
            type: "product",
          },
          options: {
            filter: "menu._ref == $menu._id",
            filterParams: {
              menu: "Extras",
            },
          },
        },
      ],
    },

"photo": { asset-> }
with 
"photo": photo.asset->

Is it possible to query for a field within a reference in 
options: {filter: {}}
? 👀

both worked, but 
"photo": photo.asset->
was a bit neater so both suggestions were really helpful
