This PR optimizes the new virtual fields with relationships feature https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11805 when the path references the ID field, for example: ``` { name: 'postCategoryID', type: 'number', virtual: 'post.category.id', }, ``` Previously, we did additional population of `category`, which is unnecessary as we can always grab the ID from the `category` value itself. One less querying step.
