I'm trying to use the JSON API to query data from a Datasette instance. I have a simple 3 table many-to-many relationship, like so: `category` - list of categories `document` - list of documents `document_category` - join table (a category contains many documents, and a document can be a member of multiple categories) the `document_category` table foreign keys to the other two using their respective row_ids. Now I want to return ""all documents within category X"" but I cannot see a way to do this without executing two queries; the first to lookup the row_id of category X, and the second to join `document` with `document_category` where category ID is . I could easily write this in SQL, but this makes programmatic handling of pagination much more difficult (we'd have to dynamically modify the SQL to select the row_id and include the correct where and limit clauses). Is there a way to achieve this using the JSON API?
