Is it possible to retrieve a record from parse.com without knowing the objectId

See the sample code below - in this case, the objectId for the record I am trying to retrieve is known.

My question is, if I don't know the Parse.com objectId, how would I implement the code below?

var Artwork = Parse.Object.extend("Artwork");
var query = new Parse.Query(Artwork);
query.get(objectId, {
  success: function(artwork) {
    // The object was retrieved successfully.
    // do something with it
  },
  error: function(object, error) {
    // The object was not retrieved successfully.
    // warn the user
  }
});

Query.get() is used when you already know the Parse object id. Otherwise, one can use query.find() to get objects based on the query parameters.

The thing that wasn't clear to me in the documentation is that once you get the object in the query, you would need to do:

With Query (can return multiple objects):

artwork[0].get('someField');

With 'first' or 'get':

artwork.get('someField');

You cannot do something like artwork.someField like I assumed you would

Sure, you can use Parse Query to search for objects based on their properties.
