Use shapeid in a query?

[Stephen Lime]

MapServer reserves a special item name called 'recno' for such queries. You do a
regular itemquery with item=recno and value=n, where n is the record number of
the feature you want.

Please note that in the 3.5 release I've introduced a special query mode for this
called indexquery.

I see from the documentation that you can get the shape id by using [shpidx]
in a template file. It looks like it is basically just the row number in the
shapefile. My question is this: can I perform a query using the shapeid as a
queryitem and if so, how?
Thanks,
Eric
