My index has two fields: `"local_time": "2020-04-28T11:00:52.000-0500"` as date and `"timezone": "America/Bogota"` as string.  
The `local_time` stores various timezones. I want to search for the same time range but in different timezones.

How could I use the value of `timezone` in the range query? I have checked but range query does not have painless script guie.

```auto
                   "range": {
                        "local_time": {
                            "gt": "2020-01-13T00:00:00",
                            "lt": "2020-01-19T23:59:59", 
                            "time_zone": {{timezone value here}},
                            "format": "date_hour_minute_second"
                        }
                    

```
