Can't query portable text annotations with Graphql

[madeleineostoja]

I'm trying to add annotations to my portable text fields for internal linking, as described here. However I'm using graphQL to query Sanity, and the {fieldname}Raw fields don't return any data in the markDefs, just the type and key, eg:

[{
  _key : "4c6d2d677368"
  _type: "link"
}]

Am I missing something? Is it not possible to use annotations properly with graphQL? And since the portabletext field is just a JSON blob there's no way to drill into it to resolve relations anyway correct?

Bump?

I love using sanity but man support options are pretty bad

if you do not want to use groq or gatsby, apparently you cannot use references in portable text. except if you want to do something like this: https://www.sanity.io/answers/handling-references-in-portable-text-in-graphql-without-gatsby-source-plugin
that is really bad, I now have to rewrite all my queries in groq, which is a very unintentional language compared to graphql. plus the fact that you do not get autocompletion on the playground makes sanity a pretty bad developer experience. which is a shame, because the I really like all the other things around sanity.
