Hi,

I have an index temple that defines a nested field as follows :

```auto
"equipments": {
          "type": "nested",
          "properties": {
            "label": {
              "type": "keyword"
            },
            "reference": {
              "type": "keyword"
            }
          }
        }

```

I have tried this but it does not seem to work .  
`.es(index=myindex,q='equipments.reference:1454546463' )`

I just need to check that there is at least one "equipment" with the given reference  
Any suggestion ?

Nested fields [are currently only partially supported in Kibana](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1084#issuecomment-585178079), and are [not yet supported in Visualizations](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/58175), so unfortunately there isn't a way to accomplish this in Timelion[0]. I'd encourage you to subscribe to the linked issues for future updates if you're interested in following along.

[0] Or at least, none that I'm aware of. Others feel free to chime in if I've missed something.
