Hi,

When using term-facets you get the term and count back per facet. Often the  
term returned is not suitable for use in URL's.

In my document I have a pretty-url version of all facets, but I have to do  
lookups for those when I use them in my application. It would be really  
efficient when calculating the facet to have to ability to return extra  
field(s) with data.  
would be like

{

```
"facet": {

    "_type": "terms",

    "missing": 0,

    "total": 570754,

    "other": 102799,

    "terms": [

        {

            "term": "Some Facet Text",

            "count": 10104

        },

        {

            "term": "Awesome ElasticSearch",

            "count": 7121

        }

    ]

}

```

}

would be something like

{

```
"facet": {

    "_type": "terms",

    "missing": 0,

    "total": 570754,

    "other": 102799,

    "terms": [

        {

            "term": "Some Facet Text",

            "count": 10104,

            "fields": [{ "url": "some-facet-text" }]

        },

        {

            "term": "Awesome ElasticSearch",

            "count": 7121,

            "fields": [{ "url": "awesome-elasticsearch" }]

        }

    ]

}

```

}

Is this already possible?

Christoph
