Fully peel tags via for-each-ref?

When running "git for-each-ref", it's possible to use %(*objectname) to get the SHA of the object a tag is tagging, and %(*objecttype) to get the type. However, in the case of an annotated tag of an annotated tag, this still isn't "fully" peeled--%(*objectname) is the tagged tag's SHA.

Is there any way, with "git for-each-ref", to output the "fully" peeled SHA of a tag's ultimate target, regardless of how many layers must be traversed?

Best regards, Bryan Turner
