Is there any workaround for getting the original documents based on the buckets for a significant text aggregation ?

The solution outlined here does not work for "significant text"  
[How to get documents from the buckets in terms aggregation?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-get-documents-from-the-buckets-in-terms-aggregation/29239)

since child aggregations not supported for significant text

Simply use the discovered terms as search terms in a second query.
