Validator from schema, including internal fields?

I'm passing full DB records to one of my actions and I'm trying to build the validator After some tinkering it looks like this:

export const myAction = internalAction({
  args: {
    idea: v.object({ ...myValidator, _id: v.id("myTable") })
  },

export const myAction = internalAction({
  args: {
    idea: v.object({ ...myValidator, _id: v.id("myTable") })
  },

I am exporting the validator from the schema similar as described here https://stack.convex.dev/types-cookbook The fact that I have to add the _id manually feels a bit awkward to me, but I need the id to be used as a foreign key Am I doing something weird? Is this simply ok? (the action uses some of the fields of the record to create a record for a different table) What I started looking for originally was like a built-in validator that can be extracted from the schema or somewhere else, similar as you can get the DB record type with Doc<"myTable"> but the equivalent for validators, including internal fields
