MongoDB: append as field the matched element from array

I have the following code:

const array = ['a', 'b', 'c']

await collection.aggregate([
  { 
    $match: { 
      codes: { $in: array } 
    }
  },
  { 
    $addFields: { matchedField: "codes.$" } // <--- does not work
  }, 
]).toArray();

I need to append the matched element from within array to the returned results. Is it possible to do that?

My collection contains documents with the following scheme:

{
  "color": "red",
  "codes": [ "b" ]
}

I need the aggregation directive to return this:

{
  "color": "red",
  "codes": [ "b" ],
  "matchedField": "b",
}
