Use MongoDump to return on specific columns

Question

I know how to use MongoDump to dump the result of a specific query using the following command:

mongodump --username USER --password PASSWORD --db DBNAME --collection COLLECTION-NAME --query 
"{\"SOME-COLUMN\" : { \"$binary\" : \"SOME-BIN-DATA==\", \"$type\" : \"03\" } }"

But this will return back the entire document(s). is it possible to use MongoDump to return on a subset of the document? I want MongoDump to return only the ids of all collections matching the query, is it possible?

Thanks!

Projection in mongodump is not yet available. Reference.

mongoexport has such functionality using fields.
