Example Code

retriever = db3.as_retriever(search_kwargs={"k":retriever_k})
print("==========retriever=============",retriever)
chain = ConversationalRetrievalChain.from_llm(
                llm=llm,
                chain_type="stuff",
                retriever=retriever,
                memory=memory,
                verbose=True,    
            )
result = chain.invoke({"question": question, "chat_history":"", "input":prompt, "history":summary_memory,"format_instructions":format_instructions}, return_only_outputs=True)

Description

When I am invoking my ConversationalRetrievalChain then in the context I am getting retriever object inside prompt template which is returning relevant Info in form of Elements() but I need relevant chunks in Document() format because I have stored a proper Document() formatted data page wise in vector db and I want that retriever retrieve data in same format.
