// Prefer single id ref as opposed to array in one to many, because updates are much easier to manage and only one model update is needed
// Use id refs whenever possible, only use sub-docs for very dumb bottom level documents
// Delete all associated documents in the `pre` hook when deleting a document
// `id` is the string representation of `_id` from a model
