Please add an event in ElementQuery::afterPopulate

[Anubarak]

I often have custom field values that should be eager loaded that are no elements. Most of the time I extend your Element classes as well as your ElementQuery classes in order to access the afterPopulate function so I can do custom eager loading like Commerce Orders do,

It would be awesome if there was an event for this so I could do custom eager loading via behavior instead of extending the class.

So basically just

/**
 * @inheritdoc
 */
public function afterPopulate(array $elements): array
{
    $event = new SomeElementEventName(['elements' => $elements]);
    if($this->hasEventHandlers(self::EVENT_AFTER_POPULATE_ELEMENTS)){
        $this->trigger(self::EVENT_AFTER_POPULATE_ELEMENTS, $event);
    }
    
    return $event->elements;
}
