Hi I currently have using the js sdk to retrieve a document using its uid. I'd like to get the contents of a linked document ( content relationship field ) in that same query as the uid document call.

Example:  
` const doc = await api.getByUID("profile", "myuid");`

The above brings me back all the fields in this document but I also want to get to all the document fields inside any linked fields in doc.

I'l like to do something like.  
` const doc = await api.getByUID("profile", "myuid", { fetchLinkedDocuments });`

I have seen examples of fetching linked fields based on their name but I want to return all the fields without having to list them.

In the link above can I use the helper getByUID in combination with the options object example:  
` const doc = await api.getByUID("profile", "myuid", {fetchLinks: ['article.title', 'article.description']});`  
But instead of having to know all the fields upfront is there a way to fetch all the fields ?

Hello, welcome to the community!

An alternative to the `fetchLinks` parameter is [GraphQuery](https://prismic.io/docs/technologies/graphquery-rest-api), a query option you can add to your Prismic queries to specify which fields to retrieve and what content to retrieve from Linked Documents / Content Relationships.

GraphQuery uses a GraphQL-like syntax and allows you to do selective fetching (i.e., fetch only the fields you need) and deep fetching (i.e., fetch the document + author in one request).

With this option, you will still need to specify each of the fields inside the linked documents but without the limitations of `fetchLinks`, which are not being able to query certain fields and any field in a Group or Slice. Plus, the GraphQL-like syntax makes the query more readable.
