If you just want to get to code, that post features relationship helper functions from the convex team, and this post focuses on the functional side of using them: https://stack.convex.dev/functional-relationships-helpers

In this post, we’ll look at some helper functions to help write code to traverse relationships in a readable, predictable, and debuggable way.
If you want a type you've written yourself you could define a type, then annotate the return type of your Convex query/mutation/action.
Inference like
(typeof api.my.func)['_returnType'] is convenient but sometimes you want a reusable type like type User = { ... }.
