Hello Apollo team,

Is it possible to add directive @context for argument (input) of some field?  
I would like to save argument into context and pass it into child field as argument.  
Is it possible?

Thanks!

Are there any other options to pass an argument from a parent field to a child field as an argument without duplicating an arguments in API schema (in API schema a child field should not have an argument).
