Handlebars.js: index access to global.json from a loop

I have a global.json file:

{
    "title": "problem",
    "dict": [
        {
            "name": "A",
            "similar": [1, 2]
        },
        {
            "name": "B",
            "similar": [0]
        },
        {
            "name": "C",
            "similar": [1]
        },
     ]
}

and I want the following result for A as an example:

A
B C

I tried to use the following handlebars script:

{{#with global.dict.[0]}}

{{name}}

{{#each similar}}
   {{@root.global.dict.[this].name}}
{{/each}}
{{/with}}

The output is is just A. However, it seems this is not recognized as integer here to used as the index

You will need to use the lookup helper to lookup the dynamic this index on @root.global.dict. You would then have to do a second lookup to get the name property of the result. Alternatively, you could use the with helper to give you a block scoped to the result of the first lookup, as in:

{{#each similar}}
    {{#with (lookup @root.global.dict this)}}
        {{name}}
    {{/with}}
{{/each}}

I have created a fiddle for your reference.
