Can I define default type for text as keyword inside an object type?

Question

Let's say I have the following mapping:

{
    "mappings": {
        "_doc": {
            "properties": {
                "id":       {"type": "keyword"},
                "params":   {
                    "type": "object",
                },
            }
        }
    }
}

params has a lot of fields with numeric and textual values. I don't want to specify all the fields of it but I would like to specify that all the text fields should be of keyword type instead of text which is the default and is analysed (which I want to avoid).

How can I do this? I'm using ElasticSearch 6.7

Adding to what @banuj mentioned:

It seems that it is possible to combine match_mapping_type and path_match to achieve what I wanted.

PUT my_index
{
  "mappings": {
    "_doc": {
      "dynamic_templates": [
        {
          "keyword params": {
            "mapping": {
              "type": "keyword"
            },
            "match_mapping_type": "string",
            "path_match": "params.*"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
