  My project requires a notifications area. I want to list all notification entries that were created by currentUser or sent to currentUser.
  
  I can do created by = `craft.entries().section('thename').authorId(currentUser.id).all()`
  
  I can do sent to = `craft.entries().section('thename').relatedTo({ targetElement: currentUser, field: 'thefield' }).all()`
  
  But is there a single query that will get both?

  A blanket `relatedTo` query should do the trick.
  
  ```
  craft.entries().section('thename').relatedTo(currentUser).all()
  
  ```
