Trouble with GROQ API and query not working in new version

Hi everyone! I seem to be having trouble with the new GROQ api. I've got an old query that doesn't seem to be working at all in the new version and I cant seem to figure out how to fix it. Essentially I have an array of a mix of references and objects. Previously I was able to run the following query to follow the reference for specific types and get containing information. Is there any equivalent for this in the new api (2021-03-25+).
Schema is here as well to show the structure!
menuItems[]{
_type == "menuPage" => ^->{
...,
},
}
fields: [
{
name: "menuItems",
title: "Menu Items",
type: "array",
of: [
{
title: "Menu Page",
name: "menuPage",
icon: MenuPageIcon,
type: "reference",
to: [{ type: "menuPage" }],
},
{
title: "Internal Link",
icon: InternalLinkIcon,
type: "internalLink",
},
{
title: "External Link",
icon: ExternalLinkIcon,
type: "externalLink",
},
],
validation: (Rule) => Rule.unique(),
},

The reason it worked before, I believe, was due to a bug with the parent hat operator

^which wouldn't always select the upper scope. I believe you can get it to work if you change your query to using the "this" operator:
@
menuItems[]{
_type == "menuPage" => @->{
...,
},

! I was just reading through the patch notes and noticed that bug fix but had no idea the @operator existed!
