Description

Via this comment:

It would be great if there were some way to specify an embed of 'subdoc.pets' that made populateEmbeddedDocs call .populate({ path: 'subdoc.pets' }) instead of .populate({ path: 'subdoc', populate: { path: 'pets' } }).

Need to develop syntax to specify between the two, ex: subdoc.pets vs subdoc:pets

Contributor guide

Research direction
Develop a syntax to differentiate between nested populate (e.g., 'subdoc.pets' vs 'subdoc:pets') and implement logic in populateEmbeddedDocs to handle both cases.
