              return {
                filter: "category._ref == $category",
                params: {
                  category: parentsParent.reference._ref,
                },
              }
            },
          },
        }),
      ],
    }),
  ],
})

Sometimes you want to get the "parents parent" when filtering references. This is a helper function to help you achieve that.

Can also be used by passing a "level" key so you can get X levels up from your current field.
