Anyone have a good solution for optimistic updates and having temporary IDs that conflict with the actual convex ID?

For example, I am adding messages to my chat app optimistically and for each message I have a query that takes in that ID to fetch the reactions of the message. Obviously when I optimistically add a message with a fake uuid convex complains since it's querying something that doesn't exist (yet)

Is this something to worry about or fix?
