Selecting only inner fields #116

Description

Hi,

Given the JSON below, you'll notice there are 2 outer object 'etag' and 'Items' and a number of inner objects.
My goal is to get rid of the outer object so each inner gets broken down on its own. Is this possible using the gabs utility?

Given JSON:

{
  "etag": "\"098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6\"",
  "items": [
    {
      "actor": {
        "email": "user1@test.com",
        "profileId": "1111111"
      },
      "etag": "\"c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b\"",
      "events": [
        {
          "name": "edit",
          "parameters": [
            {
              "boolValue": true,
              "name": "primary_event"
            },
            {
              "name": "doc_id",
              "value": "randomID1"
            },
            {
              "name": "doc_type",
              "value": "spreadsheet"
            },
            {
              "name": "doc_title",
              "value": "Document1"
            },
            {
              "name": "owner",
              "value": "user1@test.com"
            }
          ],
          "type": "access"
        }
      ],
      "id": {
        "applicationName": "drive",
        "customerId": "aaaaabbbb",
        "time": "2022-01-26T19:11:33.213Z",
        "uniqueQualifier": "1111111"
      },
      "ipAddress": "127.0.0.1",
      "kind": "admin#reports#activity"
    },
    {
      "actor": {
        "email": "user2@test.com",
        "profileId": "222222"
      },
      "etag": "\"c81e728d9d4c2f636f067f89cc14862c\"",
      "events": [
        {
          "name": "edit",
          "parameters": [
            {
              "boolValue": true,
              "name": "primary_event"
            },
            {
              "name": "doc_id",
              "value": "randomID2"
            },
            {
              "name": "doc_type",
              "value": "spreadsheet"
            },
            {
              "name": "doc_title",
              "value": "Document2"
            },
            {
              "name": "owner",
              "value": "user2@test.com"
            }
          ],
          "type": "access"
        }
      ],
      "id": {
        "applicationName": "drive",
        "customerId": "aaaaabbbb",
        "time": "2022-01-26T19:11:33.213Z",
        "uniqueQualifier": "1111111"
      },
      "ipAddress": "127.0.0.1",
      "kind": "admin#reports#activity"
    }
  ],
  "kind": "admin#reports#activities"
}

Desired outcome:

          },
          {

            "value": "randomID2"
          },
