Getting message context after modal submission best practice

I have a message context action that gives the user a modal. When the modal is submitted, what is the best practice for getting/saving the message context that opened the modal in the first place? ChatGPT is suggesting to pass the messageID in the customID field and parsing it out, which I guess would work, but what is the best way?

:method: ContextMenuCommandInteraction#awaitModalSubmit() @14.16.3 Collects a single modal submit interaction that passes the filter. The Promise will reject if the time expires.

// Collect a modal submit interaction
const filter = (interaction) => interaction.customId === 'modal';
interaction.awaitModalSubmit({ filter, time: 15_000 })
  .then(interaction => console.log(`${interaction.customId} was submitted!`))
  .catch(console.error);
