Support for Retrieving Multiple JSONPath Keys Simultaneously in kubectl Commands

[D0ri123]

What would you like to be added:
Currently, when using kubectl get secret with jsonpath, we can extract the value of a single key, as shown in the following example:

kubectl get secret -n {namespace} {example-config} -o jsonpath='{.data.A}' | base64 --decode

Here, the jsonpath argument specifies the path to a single environment key (A), and the corresponding value can be retrieved. However, if multiple keys need to be retrieved simultaneously (e.g., A and B), it requires multiple commands or a complex workaround.

Feature Request:
Extend the jsonpath functionality to allow specifying multiple keys in a single command, making it possible to retrieve multiple values at once. For instance:

kubectl get secret -n {namespace} {example-config} -o jsonpath='{.data.A, .data.B}' | base64 --decode

If possible, I would like to contribute by adding this feature myself.

Why is this needed:
By simplifying the process of retrieving a single secret, the workload is reduced, and secret values can be fetched more efficiently.

This is already possible, albeit not very ergonomic; see https://stackoverflow.com/a/46230005

AIUI you can even write the output as a JSON document.

Recommended solution above can be used. Current jsonpath implementation needs to be rewritten to support more cases. I'd prefer closing it.
