Are there any plans to support nested attributes in collections? (eg: objects/json type attributes)

Currently, I have to flatten-out my data properties to be able to store them in Appwrite collections, but this quickly gets messy when I have to deal with objects that have many levels of nestedness.
I can stringify my objects to store them in a string-type attribute, but in doing so there is no way to set Appwrite-side type constraints on the nested properties.
For some cases, I've been able to turn some of the nested properties into relationships that point to collections where I can add type constraints for the attributes of the nested schema, but Appwrite relationships are constrained to a max depth of 3 levels, so I can't rely on them to represent deeper objects.
It's be great if we could define collection attributes to be of type 'json', and then specify a typed schema for the nested properties also. So, I was wondering if this has been considered, and if there are plans to implement that or similar functionality.
Thank you for reading. I appreciate any pointers ❤️
