Hello,

Yes, it is assumed to do it manually.
Every document contains id field - it is ObjectId (PydanticObjectId to be fair). You can use it to set the relations.
It is not documented. Nice catch - I'll clarify this.
Also, you can create a unique index. I'll show in example:

class DocumentTestModelWithIndex(Document):
    test_int: int
    test_list: List[SubDocument]
    test_str: str

    class Collection:
        indexes = [
            IndexModel(
                [("test_str", pymongo.ASCENDING)],
                unique=True,
            ),
        ]

It can be used then to map the objects too.
All the IndexModel parameters can be found here - https://pymongo.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/pymongo/operations.html#pymongo.operations.IndexModel

I'll add an example of unique usage to the doc too. Thank you :-)
