Make it easier to search by _id

More then half of my queries in Compass is searching by _id. Each time I have to add both curly brackets, then type '_id:' then 'Obj', select ObjectId from autocomplete and paste _id. I propose to add '_id' field in OPTIONS, where I could just paste _id string to fire mongoose-like 'findById'

    You can just type `ObjectId('ffffffffffffffffffffffff')` which is a bit shorter, but it'd still be nice to just type `ffffffffffffffffffffffff` into the box as the only thing that can be valid is an object (which will always start with '{') or object ID (which will never start with '{')
