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.
