[Feature]-[500]:Firestore plugin - allow persisting of DocumentRef type in document

[sumitsum]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Summary

From community:

I mean that the field in the firestore document that stores the document ref is always of type document ref, so that, when firestore is queried from any front end (be it appsmith, the native mobile app or else) gets a document reference type

I got a error that might portrait my issue in a better way
If the field in the document is not stored as a document referece, then when trying to query it from the native mobile app, an error similar to this is displayed
Error serializing doc Partner/[partner ID]:
Deserializing '[progress_units, ...' to 'ParnterRecord' failed due to: Deserializing '[path, partners/[partner ID], id, [partner ID]' to 'DocumentReference<Object>' failed due to: Expected a value of type 'DocumentReference<Object?>', but got one of type 'List<Object?>'

This should help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50012956/firestore-how-to-store-reference-to-document-how-to-retrieve-it

Why should this be worked on?
