Find jobs by data

Hello. I know that getJob will not return a repeatable job. but is there any possibility to get all jobs that have specific data?

Here is an example. I would like to get all jobs that have transactionId=‘jk591k123na’

queue.add('generateAddresses', {transactionId: 'jk591k123na'}, {
    jobId: 'jk591k123na',
    repeat: { every: 10 * 60 * 1000 }
  });

could also be useful to find/remove jobs by name- that way if I know I have a specific thing I want to index on (like transactionId) which is too dynamic to have separate queues for, I could still do something like:

const queue = new Queue('myJob');
queue.add(`job:${transactionId}`);

// elsewhere, like a user-initiated cancel
queue.removeJobByName(`job:${transactionId}`);

(in my use case it’d be tricky to keep track of job ids, since jobs are calling an external api and creating new jobs based on the pagination data returned, which and it’s not predictable how many pages there will be)

@roggervalf thanks. I think I have an elegant way of dealing with this as well.
