Creating a dictionary schema with Mongoose

Question

I am trying to store a dictionary of objects using Mongoose. Realizing that I lose the change detection for saving with using the Mixed type, I was hoping I could create a schema that would not require the Mixed type.

There are plenty of examples of creating schemas for arrays of objects, but not dictionaries of objects. Is it possible to do this?

Format:

{
    ObjectId : {
        "attempts" : {
            "response" : String,
            "timestamp" : Date
        },
        "complete" : Boolean
    }
}
