If not, are there any ways of handling scenarios like this without
having to do a select for each item?
I would have done this by having a discussion_id / thread_id column.
A discussion generally has properties of its own, so in a full
application you would presumably have a discussion or thread table
already. Selecting all messages in that discussion then becomes a
trivial matter.
