See also Accessing field values and properties. You can use complex properties in your filters. For example filtering dropdown fields by values and by labels, filtering page type fields by page metadata fields, filtering user fields by, for example - email property

 

It is important to understand that it is absolutely possible to combine virtual functions WITH field properties
