Sails-mongodb add criteria in .populate

Newbie here, is there a way to add criteria when using .populate in sails js. Or is it even possible to do so?

Ex. 

Model.find().populate('toPopulate', {"toPopulate.toFind" : {$in: [1,2,3,4]}}).exec(console.log);

Please shed some light

Thanks

@mdunisch's answer is almost correct, just needed to include @sgress454's fix. So here is the working example on how to add filters in populate.

Model.find().populate('toPopulate',
    {where: {id: [1,2,3,4]}}).exec(console.log);

OR

you can also do it without where

Model.find().populate('toPopulate', {id: [1,2,3,4]}).exec(console.log);

Try:

Model.find().populate('toPopulate',
where: {
    id: [1,2,3,4]
  }
).exec(console.log);
