Introduce option to store a Connector selection as a JSON object instead of an array

Feature Description

I would like the option to store a single Connector selection as a single JSON object, instead of an array. This vastly simplifies keeping that (usually) denormalized field in sync, as well as simplify firestore querying for that field.

This would also allow us to implement the Connector feature in-place, without editing the rest of the codebase to support an array. We can get around that now by using a derivative that extracts the item, but this make syncing and programmatically updating that field more complex. A simple opt-in to change the output format to an object would suffice. Is there another way to accomplish this that I am missing?

For a simple example, you could just take a Book/Author relationship.

I expected the field type be determined by the allow "Allow for multiple item selection" option. If only one option can be selected there is no need for the output to be an array

I would like to take up this issue.
Can you provide an example of Single Connector Selection? I'm new to rowy and this is a bit unclear to me.

Can I work on this now as it was assigned to no one? @BeeBombshell
