Description

It'd be great if avo had support for delegated type fields. I think this could work like a belongs to association?

Research direction
Review the closed PR #2681 for previous implementation attempts. Study how avo currently handles belongs to associations in its field types. Understand Rails delegated types from the Rails docs. Then propose a new implementation following the pattern from belongs to. Investigate the avo codebase for relevant field definitions.
