Any method to get grains value including wildcard

[Prakash82x]

Description of Issue/Question

We have nested grains and that is not consistent across the environment, I want to get value of grains with wildcard.

Something like this:
salt -L "minion1, minion2, minion3" grains.get 'rootgrain:nestedgrain:*:nestedgrain2'

The * mentioned in the grains hierarchy above contains different keys for different servers (physical/virtual/vendor etc..) and hence we need * to be able to find out all servers which contains specific grain value.

Setup

I know there is a way to target minions with wildcards in the Glob matching syntax (like:salt -G 'test:*:int:test2:active' test.ping) but can we just get the grains value with wildcards in it as requested above.
