Examples

# NOT RUN {
dat <- opq ("London UK") %>% 
    add_osm_feature (key="name", value="Thames", exact=FALSE) %>% osmdata_sf ()
# Get ids of lines called "The Thames":
id <- rownames (dat$osm_lines [which (dat$osm_lines$name == "The Thames"),])
# and find all multilinestring objects which include those lines:
osm_multilines (dat, id)
# Now note that
nrow (dat$osm_multilines) # = 24 multiline objects
nrow (osm_multilines (dat, id)) # = 1 - the recursive search selects the
                                # single multiline containing "The Thames"
# }
