Querying Multiple Documents by IDs in Convex

I'm currently working on an application where I have a list of document IDs and I need to fetch their corresponding data from Convex. I am considering a few approaches and would appreciate some help on what is the best approach.

1. Is there a way to use the filter method to directly query for a set of IDs in one go, something akin to an IN clause in SQL? For example, can I pass an array of IDs to filter or use a combination of filter and or to achieve this? Or maybe with some other method?
2. If such an array-based filtering is not supported, would it be more efficient to:

(a)Retrieve all documents and filter them on the client-side using JavaScript? ()
(b)Make separate queries for each ID?
(c) Some other pattern

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
