Topic: Business identifier search

The fhir spec has an example of searching by a (business)identifier...
GET [base]/Observation?subject:identifier=http://acme.org/fhir/identifier/mrn|123456
I'm trying to learn if there is a way to further distinguish that the subject is a particular resource type (for example, Patient versus Device)

GET [base]/Observation?patient:identifier=http://acme.org/fhir/identifier/mrn|123456 goes for only Patient

More generally you can use chained searches: GET [base]/Observation?subject:Device.identifier=http://acme.org/fhir/identifier/mrn|123456

(Note though that search by identifier are rarely implement, chained searches a bit more)
