Are you referring to the same functionality as the --include-id-file option?

Ah, I missed that. It was touched very briefly. So we could basically add 100s of postids in the yaml file and they'll get processed? Could it be entire reddit URLs too?

You'll have to be more specific. What kind of Reddit URLs?

Reddit gives you only 1000 results, but you could use google for example to get extra results from custom date ranges. Example: google => site:www.reddit.com/r/funny Custom range => from 1/1/2020 to 1/1/2021

Sample URLS: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/kmllz1/for_my_fiancés_birthday_i_made_a_book_of_quotes/ https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/km2kta/shirtception_my_favorite_gift_every_year_from_my/

Or you just need the SUBIDs like: kmllz1 km2kta ?

Both are possible, just put them on separate lines of a simple text file. Why don't you just try it out instead of asking?
