The title is pretty self explanatory!

I have many documents in an index. Each document has a field `X`. Given an id `i` of a document, Is there a way to get the `X` value of `i` and return all the documents whose `X` value is within a certain range, all in one query?

My problem is basically referencing The `X` value of document `i` within my range query.

No, that sounds like a join, which Elasticsearch does not support. You will probably need to do that using two separate queries.
