How can I define dynamic keys for nested objects in schema?

  v.object({
    question: v.string(),
    answer: v.string(),
    yourAnswer: v.optional(v.object({property: v.string()})),
    options: v.optional(v.array(v.string())),
  })

  v.object({
    question: v.string(),
    answer: v.string(),
    yourAnswer: v.optional(v.object({property: v.string()})),
    options: v.optional(v.array(v.string())),
  })

This is my object, I want the property key to be dynamic of type string, how can I achieve the same in Convex? The yourAnswer object will have this value

{
  1: "abc",
  2: "def",
...  
}

{
  1: "abc",
  2: "def",
...  
}

This could be possible with a v.record validator which we don't have atm (https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1169820234862055537/1169822024663826452). As in that thread, we suggest:

v.array(v.object({key: ..., value: ...}))

v.array(v.object({key: ..., value: ...}))

instead (a an array of named tuples representing the keys and values)
