Allow filtering on types that implement interface

Issues GraphQL

Currently it is not possible to filter on types that implement interfaces.

Given this schema:

type Blub {
   id: String!
   blas: [Bla!]!
}

interface Bla {
   blaValue: String! @search(by: [hash])
}

type Foo implements Bla {
   fooValue: Int! @search
}

I want to query all Blub but filter blas for fooValue when the underlying type is Foo.

query {
   queryBlub {
      id
      blas {
         blaValue
         ... on Foo {
            fooValue
         }
      }
   }
}

Allowing arguments (and corresponding filter logic) on inline fragments would certainly help here:

query {
   queryBlub {
      id
      blas {
         blaValue
         ... on Foo (filter: { fooValue: {gt: 0 } }) {
            fooValue
         }
      }
   }
}

A current workaround which involves a wrapped type and @cascade that I found.
Schema:

type Blub {
   id: String!
   blas: [Bla!]!
}

interface Bla {
   blaValue: String! @search(by: [hash])
}

type WrappedInt {
  value: Int! @search
}

type Foo implements Bla {
   fooValue: WrappedInt!
}

query:

query {
   queryBlub {
      id
      blas @cascade {
         blaValue
         ... on Foo {
            fooValue(filter: {value: {gt: 0 } }) {
               value
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

It should be clear though, that such workarounds are not good and should not be needed.

I’ll also reference this here because I see similarities.
