DocumentDB: Delete a document by ID

Question

I'm using a new database from Microsoft called DocumentDB. Now I want to delete a document by ID, but I cannot figure out, how to do this. Delete operation in DocumentDB requires self-links and they are different from my own ids.

using (var client = new DocumentClient(EndPoint, AuthKey))
{
    await client.DeleteDocumentAsync("**self-link here**");
}

I can execute an additional query to find the self-link and then pass it, but this will require two operations instead one and that is what I'd like to avoid. Is there a better way to remove an entry by ID without using queries or stored procedures?
