*[_type == "category"] {
events[]-&gt; {_key, _id}
}

Could you post an example of a category document? Easier to help when seeing the document structure

{
  "events": [
    {
      "_key": "f9d29ec438bf",
      "_ref": "5b94ed5c-064d-4fe8-bafe-e53920984f65",
      "_type": "reference"
    }
  ]
}

events[]{
 _key, 
  @-&gt;
}

Perhaps?

Getting close 🙂 I needed to put it in an object.

*[_type == "category"][0] {
events[] {
  _key,
  "something": @-&gt; {...}
}
}

Any ideas how to make attach it to the parent?

    ...@-&gt;
  }
