This is an interesting idea. What is the use case for this behavior? Is this mostly a way to create subdocuments?

Lets you have a model that represents a log, you have multiple websites you want to have logs off. So to improve performance, you want to have the websites' logs in a different collection from each other.

Got it?

That's an interesting idea. How would you change the log model's collection?

Current way of doing it (tmk) is getting the mongo connection and inserting the document (const document = new Model()) into a collection Could add an option in document.save to set the collection.
