I have multiple documents containing a geo-spatial location. I'd like to make a query finding all the documents (let's say B,C,D) whose location is below a given distance of another document (A).  
All my document have a location of "type": "geo\_point", and I'm able to find all the one nearby a given point using that filter :

```
            "filter" : {
                "geo_distance" : {
                    "distance" : "{{radius}}",
                    "location" : {
                        "lat" : "{{lat}}",
                        "lon" : "{{lon}}"

```

However, to get the lat lon in my request, I need to make a request first requesting the coordinates of document A.

Is there a query (in the spirits of the terms query) that would allow me to do something like this?

```
            "filter" : {
                "geo_distance" : {
                    "distance" : "{{radius}}",
                    "location" : {
                               terms:{ "id" : "A", "path" : "location"}

```

Thanks in advance
