Is there any database that actually supports what the original poster wanted ?

The only thing that I know that's similar is bigtable/hbase/hypertable wide column store.
The way it works is:
break the lexicographically sorted rows into blocks of compressed XXKB, and then keeps an index on the start_key+end_key of each block.

This way we can store the index(that links to several toast values) on the row and depending on which key you need it will get+decompress the required block.
You can interpret nested values by using a separator on the key like "first_level:2ndlevel:3rd_level:value".
If the index is too big, you can store the index itself in a toast value.

Note: I have no idea how to(if it can be) actually code this.

I can give you some backstory on this.  TOAST was designed in 2001 as a
way to store, in a data-type-agnostic way, long strings compressed and
any other long data type, e.g. long arrays.

In all previous cases, _part_ of the value wasn't useful.  JSONB is a
unique case because it is one of the few types that can be processed
without reading the entire value, e.g. it has an index.

We are going to be hesitant to do something data-type-specific for
JSONB.  It would be good if we could develop a data-type-agnostic
approach to has TOAST can be improved.  I know of no such work for 9.6,
and it is unlikely it will be done in time for 9.6.

I'm looking on this time to time.
