Hi!

I need to compute two vector similarities during search and return them as fields. Both fields are needed for downstream processing, so I cannot use scoring context that only returns a single combined score. This old 2020 [thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/allow-vector-functions-in-script-fields-context/247884) covers this topic (as impossible) but I'm not sure if things progressed since then and if there is a workaround.

Thanks
