Chaining optimistic updates?

I'm building a block based outliner note-taking app. Each bullet point is an entry in the blocks table. Hitting enter creates a new block and hitting tab indents it. Both block creation and indentation are convex mutations (which feels right to me, but happy to be corrected). However I'm having trouble with optimistic updates, especially chained ones, e.g. if I rapidly hit enter then tab. I suspect the reason is that the indent mutation takes a block id, and the client doesn't know what the block id should be... Is there good support for this sort of thing?

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.
