Yes, that should work, does it not? The only thing you should be aware of is that if you use the cursor API to execute this, it’s a little tricky in the following sense: you can traverse the results by iterating over the cursor’s selections. However, if you’re returning a value that does not belong to the original document (ie. sum, substring or possibly string(…) ) the cursor will be moved over a new, literal value and you will have to manually move it back to the document before executing further queries.

 

Let me know if you encounter problems.
