Is there an equivalent of WITH from CYPHER (neo4j) in MQL (MongoDB Query Language)?

Is it possible in MongoDB to pass several variables in one query and use several database searches?

Example in Neo4j - finding the first person, and then finding results based on the first search:

MATCH (n {name: 'Anders'})--(m)
WITH m
ORDER BY m.name DESC
LIMIT 1
MATCH (m)--(o)
RETURN o.name

Is it possible to get something similar in MongoDB?

At the moment I have an idea only to make two separate queries. If this is the only solution, how should it be done to optimally transfer this data between queries? I am using the mongodb driver on nodejs.

cypher mongodb-query mongodb neo4j

This is a sample where you use MongoDb which is similar to Neo4j find the first node. Then using that node to find another node related to the first node.

//create sample data
use test1
db.employees.insertMany([
  {empId: 1, name: 'Anders', related: 'Dave' },
  {empId: 2, name: 'Dave', related: 'Mark' }
]); 

// this is similar to find Anders and sort the result in descending order (-1) and return the related person Dave
temp = db.employees.find({"name": "Anders"}).sort({ "name": -1 }).limit(1).map(function(el) { return el.related } );
// then search the name Dave based on the previous find
db.employees.find({"name": {$in: temp}})

Result:
{ "_id" : ObjectId("62fc509b4f1f4a75855bccec"), "empId" : 2, "name" : "Dave", "related" : "Mark" }
