Question about predicates and list properties.

I have a property 'categories' of an object that returns a list (an array) of objects, which in turn have a property 'name'. Can I set up a NSPredicate that can match a string against any name in this list? How? In IB I set the left hand side to 'categories.name' but I get the error that
