Pass field lookups to the custom filter method

Feature Request Type

• [ ] Core functionality
• [X] Alteration (enhancement/optimization) of existing feature(s)
• [ ] New behavior

Description

When a filter includes another nested filter with custom methods, it is impossible to get to the lookup and use it for filtering.

Essentially, custom filtering methods can be used within a specific filter, but cannot be used if the filter is nested. In this case, you have to build workarounds based on the type of queriset model, which is quite unpleasant

The simplest solution seems to be passing the lookup as a method argument.
